Hello, yes in fact this is a dirtroad, the old Israeli border patrol road. At the parking space there is a big red/white sign "no motorized vehicles" (allgemeines Fahrverbot), so even if you could drive the road (we haven't hiked it), I would not do so in Israel. The other road further south leading to Jordan river is an old asphalt road, partly overgrown plants, partly gravel, but that one is allowed to drive. Regards from Switzerland Martin
