Pit (Noam from Horesh Yaron) - Ein Horsha

In the ICRC archive an old slide was found with a photograph of a cave opening. On the slide is written "Pit (Noam from Horesh Yaron)" and the location "Ein Horsha". Next to the slide a general map of the cave was also found, showing a small space made up of two pits. According to a picture on another slide, it appears to be the opening of a natural cave.

An attempt by the ICRC team to locate the cave opening did not lead to its discovery. The reference point written on the map is apparently incorrect, since in a careful search of the reference point and its surroundings (within a radius of 300 m from it) the opening was not found.

We would be glad of any information about the place. You can send an email to caving.research@gmail.com

Zeret Cave (El Amud) - Nahal Kane

Zeret Cave was published in the past, before the GPS era, in the booklet Nikrot Tzurim 7 on page 68.

Additional information for orientation: from the Nevatif spring one sees below the horizon a large double bush, whose right half is round (carob) and whose left half is disheveled (Palestine oak); 10 m above them is the cave opening.

General grid ref.: 1595/1722

In recent years there have been several attempts to relocate it, searching in the area where it was published, but without success in locating its opening.

It is quite possible that one of the visitors knows it or will find it on a hike in the area.

We would be glad to be updated about its discovery by email - caving.research@gmail.com
