Near the Zohar Reservoir.

Plans

Train day. I have an art delivery in Tel Aviv, so I'll take the paintings there, then the train to Kiryat Gat, then a bus to Zohar. Walk to the point, then the reverse to get home.

Expedition

I had no problem making the shacharit train to Tel Aviv, and brought the paintings to the gallery. Train and bus to Zohar also went without a hitch. I started walking down the road towards the town of Zohar itself, but quickly realized it would be faster to go north, where there was a separate trail through the fields that also connected to the highway.

Unfortunately, I almost immediately saw the fence around the area with the reservoir, and dozens of massive signs saying Danger of Drowning, no entry.

I walked along the fence until I reached the closest possible point to the target - still about 250 m away - but I wasn't about to climb it. I'm not insane.

The trip home was also uneventful.

Some nice fields though

This is as close as I can get; you can see the water on the other side of the fence
