Discovered by chance in 1968 during the Hartuv quarry explosion, this cave is truly unique due to its diverse formations of dolomite and limestone. Not only does it offer a breathtaking experience, but it also serves as a valuable resource for studying ancient climate patterns and earthquakes. In a touching tribute, the cave is dedicated to the memory of Avshalom Shoham, an IDF soldier who tragically lost his life while on duty.
