More about the place

The Stalactite Cave, also known as Avshalom Cave or Soreq Cave, is located in a nature reserve on the western slopes of the Judean Hills, about three kilometers east of Beit Shemesh. The cave was uncovered by chance in 1968 during a quarry blast. It isn't large, but it's packed with an abundance of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, lit up with colorful lighting. From the parking lot, there is about a 300-meter walk down a path with stairs.
