==Hitching out==
===To [[Jerusalem]], [[Dead Sea]], or [[Eilat]]===
Warning: the primary route for hitchhiking south from the Golan, passes the West bank [[Palestinian territories]] and areas such as Jericho. Pay attention to every ride you take and choose your drivers carefully.
From the Golan the first goal to reach is the Tsemach Junction, which is situated at the bottom (southern) tip of the Kinneret. From a local junction, make your way to preferabley Highway 98 and head south, but depending where you are, Highway 92 also leads to the Tsemach Junction. If you happen to be in the upper eastern part of the Golan, Highway 90 east of the Kinneret will also do, but will be much more difficult, because many people stop in Tiberias, which is a relatively large city, and will possibly require leaving a the city, which can be rather difficult.
