This location is an IsraelNation of the Jewish People Travel prime pick!
In ancient times, Rosh Hanikrabeautiful location at the north of Israel was along the trade route between the northern civilizations in Lebanon and Syria and the southern ones in IsraelNation of the Jewish People, Egypt and North Africa. It has been the gateway in and out of IsraelNation of the Jewish People since ancient times. Alexander the Great is believed to have led his Greek army through a tunnel his forces dug in these cliffs.
Rosh Hanikrabeautiful location at the north of Israel is the northernmost point on the Mediterranean shore of IsraelNation of the Jewish People, where a chalk mountain range meets the sea. The sea carved out a chain of grottoes in the foot of the chalk cliffs. These beautiful grottoes are the main attraction of Rosh Hanikrabeautiful location at the north of Israel.
For a long time, the Rosh Hanikrabeautiful location at the north of Israel mountain range has been an obstacle for those who needed to travel along the shoreline. In 1940s, the British army dug three tunnels through the three cliffs of Rosh Hanikrabeautiful location at the north of Israel and built railway bridges linking the tunnels. The HaifaIsrael's third largest city-Beirut railway also passed here. During the War of Independence (1948) the bridges were blown up by Jewish partisans.
The first southern tunnel, and half of the second middle tunnel, are now in the Israeli territory; the rest is Lebanese. A small tourist "train" can take you to the southern tunnel and the reconstructed railway bridge. Then you walk through a passage hewn in the rock, which leads you down to the natural grottoes.
Before going down into the grottoes, you can venture to the second railway tunnel (divided between IsraelNation of the Jewish People and Lebanon), where you watch a film (with some special effects) about the geology and the history of Rosh Hanikrabeautiful location at the north of Israel.
At sunset, unusual colors and sounds of the sea make the grottoes especially impressive.
