Rosh Hanikra is a unique geological formation, the clashing point between mountain and sea. The significance of the site dates back to the ancient world, but it was during the British Mandate rule that a proper road was paved between Haifa and Tripoli (Lebanon), passing through Rosh Hanikra. The British excavated a path through the cliffs, and remains of this important rail line can still be seen today.
But we’re not here for old railways, nice though they might be. The main attraction is the grottoes, astonishing geological formations forged over years of tectonic shifts. The crashing waves continue this process to this day, slowly gnawing at the rock. In the past, the grottoes could only be reached by sea, but today they are accessed via cable car - the world’s shortest and steepest line, rising 70 meters above sea level at a 60 degree angle. The ride provides a stunning view of the area, particularly the bay in all of its glory, including three small islands that are home for a variety of water fowl. This is only the appetizer to the main course waiting at the bottom: the grottoes.
