Pa'ar Cave, Karstic sinkhole in Upper Galilee, Israel.
Pa'ar Cave is a karstic sinkhole in Upper Galilee where water flows through limestone formations. The system functions as a natural drainage channel that moves water from the stream toward the groundwater level.
The area was placed under protection in 1967 and formed the core of a designated nature reserve. This step marked an important effort to safeguard geological formations in the region.
The name comes from the stream that flows through the area and shapes the landscape. The vegetation surrounding the cave features plants typical of Upper Galilee, including wild oaks and flowering species native to this region.
Access requires prior coordination with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. Visitors should contact the responsible agency before planning their trip to arrange necessary permits and information.
The underground system connects the Adir peak of the Meron range to nearby Kibbutz Sasa through its water channels. This hidden connection reveals how closely natural geology and human settlements are interwoven in this area.
