1 day Center Israel
Luzit Cave
The Geographical zone in Israel center “Ha Shefellah” which means law land, infect its main character is hills 200-400 meter above sea level and you wonder why it is called law land. Well like every thing else in life is its relativity. In Israel everything start and end in Jerusalem so in relation to Judean hills of Jerusalem 600-1,000 meter above Sea level the lower land is lower. Ha Shfellah nick name is the land of 1,000 caves though we have more then 7,000 of them and it is another special attraction. In some of the caves nest bats and it is possible to visit and see them, but remember it is a protected animal and we should not disturb it.
