Walking
Start at the Beit She'an bus station. From the bus station, head southeast on Derech Yitzhak Rabin street until you reach the intersection with HaShalom street. Turn right onto HaShalom street and continue straight. After approximately 800 meters, you will come to a roundabout. Take the second exit onto HaBanim street, then continue for about 300 meters. You will see a sign for 'השביל הרטוב' (HaShvil HaRatov) on your left. Follow the path leading off HaBanim street to the entrance of the hiking area.
Public Transport
If you prefer to take public transport, begin at the Beit She'an bus station. Check the local bus schedule for routes heading towards the nature reserves or hiking areas. Hop on a bus that goes towards 'Gan HaShlosha' or 'Sha'ar HaGolan', as these may drop you off closer to the trails. After disembarking, follow any signs directing you to 'השביל הרטוב' or ask locals for further directions to the hiking area.
Biking
For those who want to bike, rent a bicycle from a nearby rental shop in Beit She'an. Start your ride from the city center and head towards Derech Yitzhak Rabin street. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with HaShalom street. Turn right and bike along HaShalom street. After about 1 kilometer, you will reach a roundabout. Take the second exit onto HaBanim street, and you will see the entrance to 'השביל הרטוב' on your left side after about 300 meters.
