More about the place

Etzba Cave is a karst cave on the southern slope of Nahal Oren in the Carmel, above the mouth of the stream near Route 4. Inside are three chambers in a row, resembling the joints of a finger, and in the innermost chamber a narrow opening in the ceiling lets in a little light onto stalactites. From the parking lot at the mouth of the stream, steps lead up to an old British post, and from there rock steps continue to the cave. The trail carries on to Etzba Ridge, where the top offers a wide lookout over the coastal plain and the sea.
