The Soreq Cave is a nature reserve and part of the National Parks Authority. It is an example of "Natural Beauty". Located between Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, the caves are a great place to spend a morning or an afternoon with your family. The beautiful formations are made from years of dripping water and you must make sure to wear good shoes with traction because it can get quite slippery. There are guard rails throughout and the path is lit.  Humidity in the cave is between 92%-100%.

There are 150 stairs to get down from the visitors center to the opening of the cave. With special permission you can request to drive down to the cave area. Baby strollers are not allowed in the cave.
