Keshet Cave

Keshet Cave is a natural cave in Western Galilee featuring a prominent limestone arch formation created when the original ceiling collapsed. The opening frames a deep ravine below, with the stone arch spanning across like a natural bridge.

The cave contains archaeological evidence of human settlement dating back to prehistoric times, with traces of occupation found across multiple historical periods. This long record of inhabitation reveals how communities used the site over thousands of years.

The name Keshet means rainbow in Hebrew, inspired by how light plays across the stone arch at different times of day. This natural feature has drawn photographers and artists who come to capture the shifting colors and shadows within the opening.

The cave is reached via road 8993 near Adamit Park, with a clearly marked trail leading to viewing platforms. The walk to the main viewing area is relatively short and takes you through the surrounding landscape.

On clear days, the stone arch frames a distant view of Haifa Bay and the Mediterranean beyond, transforming the cave into an unexpected viewpoint. The sight line extends far across the landscape and changes with weather conditions throughout the year.
