The Kerem Tunnel, the first cycle tunnel in Israel was opened as part of the Jerusalem Ring Path, a 42-kilometer cycle path that runs around Jerusalem, Israel’s capital city.

The tunnel makes Jerusalem an attractive destination for tourists of any kind of crowd throughout Israel and around the world.”
