Chotem ha-Karmel, Mountain summit in Haifa District, Israel
Chotem ha-Karmel rises 525 meters above sea level, forming part of the southwestern edge of the Carmel mountain range near Zichron Ya'akov.
Archaeological excavations in the caves of Chotem ha-Karmel revealed human settlements dating back 600,000 years, including significant Neanderthal remains.
The mountain slopes contain multiple religious sites sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, with several monasteries and places of worship.
The Israel National Trail crosses through the nature reserve, providing access to walking paths and observation points overlooking the Mediterranean coast.
The limestone cliffs of Chotem ha-Karmel create a geographical formation called Cukej Chotem, where the mountain meets the coastal plain.
