The Soreq Cave is the central feature of the Avshalom Reserve and a popular stop for adventurous tourists. Located approximately 12 miles west of Jerusalem along the road out of Ein Kerem, the caves lie in the western slopes of the Judean Hills. Averaging about two hundred feet in both length and width and totaling about an acre in area, Soreq (Sorek) is Israel's largest cave.

In 1968, a blast to lossen rock in the Har-Tuv Quarry revealed an underground world of beauty, the Soreq Cave. The explosion opened a new crack into the world beneath. The stalactites were formed about 5 million years ago. The cave is approximately 8-25 million years out and the rocks are approximately 80-100 millions years old. Seven years after it's discovery, the cave was opened on March 16, 1975.
