Due to their special shape, caves of this type got the name of "bell caves”, and they are quite common in the Judean lowland region. Luzit caves are an excellent example for caves of this type. So why "bell”? These are not naturally occurring caves, but relatively soft limestone caves which were quarried by Man. The quarrying was done from the top to the bottom, while during the work the circumference was widened further and further until the shape of a bell was created. This site, which is located within a blossoming area- in season- offers several bell caves which are very impressive in size. It is worth while to go into all of them and study them in depth. In addition, near these caves, some nice, short walking trails can be found, although it is recommended to watch for deep water holes which appear without any warning along these paths. Arrival through road number 353, near Luzit moshav.
