Description of the Cave:

The cave opening is located north of the access road to Elon Moreh and was opened during its paving. The dimensions of the opening are about 2X3 m. From the opening of the cave a large chamber developed, along whose walls there are many cave deposits such as: stalactites, stalagmites and columns. At the site there was massive looting of the cave deposits and they are not active. The dimensions of the chamber are about 10X10 m and 7 m high.

Access and Hiking:

Access to the cave opening is not problematic.

The descent into the cave requires the help of a short rope - at the time of the visit to the cave there was a large wooden ladder at the site.

* No bats were observed in the cave.

Equipment:

  • A 10 m rope for descending into the cave (if there is no ladder).
