The Keshet Cave (also known as the Rainbow cave or Arch cave) in the Galilee, is one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the land of Israel. Not only is the large natural arch with the shallow cave beneath it a pleasure to see, it also attracts hundreds of extreme sports enthusiasts who like to rappel from the arch down to the cave floor below. For those really looking for a thrill, dropping off the side of the cave and swinging under the arch with just the rope between you and the forests way down below is an unforgettable experience.
Embedded in the rock are anchors for fastening ropes and there is a sturdy metal guardrail as well, both for assisting in the rappelling and to keep bystanders safe from plummeting downwards. The drop to the floor of the cave is between 40 and 50 meters (130-165 feet) and from the bottom, there is a windy, adventurous trail back up to a parking area.
