Cave 135, Mount Hermon

Grid ref.: 2209003/297717
Elevation: 1280 m above sea level

Cave description:

A narrow horizontal cave located at the bottom of a rock step in an area with many terraces. The entrance is hidden by woodland buckthorn shrubs growing near the entrance.

The cave is located 2 km south of Birkat Man, at the bottom of a small gully descending to Doline 130 and to Nahal Gubta.

The cave entrance leads to a narrow passage turning east, and continuing about 4 m in this direction until its end, where there is a split into another passage that developed along a fracture perpendicular to the entrance passage, 15 m long. The meeting point between the passages is in the middle of the fracture so that in effect there is a narrow, low passage extending about 8 m north and a similar distance south. On the cave walls there are cave coral and travertine coating.

Entrance dimensions: 1.3X1.3 m.

Notes:

Signs of porcupine activity were observed in the cave.
