Rosh HaNikra grottoesRosh HaNikra grottoes are a geologic formation on the north of Israel, on the border with Lebanon. The grottoes are solutional caves formed as result of corrosion of Rosh HaNikra cliff by sea water. In order to make tourists access to the grottoes easier 400 meters long gallery (giving excellent view on the whole Northern coast of Israel) was dug through the cliff. Rosh HaNikra grottoes also have cable car service in order to assist descent for the cliff to the tunnels. |
