About
The bell caves near Luzit are bell-shaped, rock-cut caves typical of the Judean Lowlands. A visit combines a rope descent into one of the caves with a walk through the chambers.
It is a guided day of medium length and easy to moderate difficulty, fine for people who have never rappelled. It is dark inside, so every participant needs a headlamp.
