Salt cave Kolonel, Israel

Another natural miracle is to be found in Israel, on the southern coast of the Dead Sea. Here is the only salt mountain in the world, the Colonel, as well as a cave of the same name, which attracts not only researchers but also ordinary tourists. The cave is fabulously beautiful. When only the beam of a lantern touch its walls, they begin to sparkle like scattering of precious stones. The structure of the salt cave is quite complicated, behind every steep turn incredible surprises await its guests.

The finest threads of snow-white stalactites, snow-covered galleries, amazing crystals and snow-white walls strewn with large crystals of salt. All this looks fantastic and is being surprisingly transformed when any attempt to illuminate the cave. Throughout the year, the cave maintains a constant temperature, which is about +25 degrees Celsius. This allows its incredible formations to remain unchanged for hundreds of years.

Only experienced cavers who have special equipment can visit the unique salt cave. The entrance to the cave is a deep well, which is located near Sodom mountain. It is impossible to descend into it without special equipment. For brave travellers speleo tours are regularly held, in which they, accompanied by experienced speleologists, can go down into the cave and stroll through its most beautiful galleries. Salt Cave Colonel is an ideal option for those who like unusual excursions, only available to the dedicated ones. Next - Skaftafell Ice Cave
