Caves of the Northern Shfela and the Coastal Plain

Minchat Chinuch Cave, Kiryat Sefer

Grid ref.: 154289/148769
Location: Kiryat Sefer
Elevation: 317 m above sea level

Description of the cave:

At the top of an artificial rock step, about 5 m above Minchat Chinuch Street, there is a wide cave opening leading to a short passage. The length of the passage from its opening to its end is 10 m, its height about 0.5 m and its width does not exceed 1 m. Along its whole length the cave walls and ceiling are covered with large cave corals, most of them broken. It appears that this cave too was discovered during the work to prepare the land for building the settlement, and that its original length was certainly greater.
