Keshet Cave, also known as Arch Cave or Qwarin Keshet, is a natural arch located within Adamit Park near the Betzet Stream Nature Reserve in Upper Galilee, Israel. Once a large karst cave, geological processes transformed it into an arched structure overhanging a deep abyss. The site was first discovered around 1989 and has since become popular for rock climbing. By 2012, it featured 26 climbing routes with more being added regularly. However, due to its delicate nature, climbing is not always permitted; visitors must check regulations before attempting ascents. Keshet Cave sits on the Rekes Sulam Tsur cliff formation and is managed as an archaeological site within a protected area near Lebanon’s border. The cave's unique shape attracts tourists and climbers but also poses safety risks. Visitors should be aware of potential dangers and adhere to local rules. Accessible via Route 8993, it offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the Mediterranean coast and Upper Galilee hills.
