Stalactite cave
In the settlement of Atarot, in a somewhat unexpected area, there is a special cave that few know about, a cave to which the entrance is only by ropes. The trip is suitable for adventure lovers and you can enjoy them right in the center of the country in the settlement of Atarot near Jerusalem. This impressive cave was accidentally discovered during earthworks that took place there. The descent into the interior of the cave is unique and different because the sliding is actually carried out without a wall to which you connect, but rather a bell-shaped cave opening to which the entrance is from the upper opening and you slide down the bottom of the cave. The trip also includes the need to get out of the cave, which requires the use of means such as a rope ladder which is required by reality in order to get out of the cave. Inside the cave we can enjoy unique phenomena that have been preserved for millions of years inside the cave.
One of the favorite abseiling sites in Israel, is in Nahal Rahaf in the Judean Desert. The route goes over the impressive replica cliff with a series of no less than 9 waterfalls of different heights ranging from a few meters to 35 meters of sliding down the cliff. This diverse sequence of waterfalls allows people of a wide level of experience and professionalism to enjoy a wonderful abseiling trip. The bonus on this route is the fact that the rest of the route is also challenging in itself and has pegs and ropes as part of the route all along the way. The rains that fall during the winter, although they are not many, often change the surface and actually create a new reality on every trip, this in addition to the bonus of the full water during the winter months creates a perfect hiking route.
