From the Shimshon Junction, it is a 1.5 km walk through Highway 44 to Dan's Tomb. The tomb is on the roadside; from the signboard, it is only a few meters inside. A 4x4 dirt road takes you from the Tomb of Dan to the ancient site of Tel Tzora through a region rich with pine and carob trees. On the way you can see the beautiful Soreq Valley, a Bedoiun Settlement and a forest area called the President's Forest. The distance from the Tomb of Dan to the Tomb of Samson in Tel Tzora is around 3 km.
