Attractions

Beit Guvrin

One of the sites located here gave its name to the entire park. The remains of two ancient cities, Maresha and Beit Gouvrin, are located in the area. In addition to them, guests can familiarize themselves with a whole network of man-made caves. They were built here for 2 thousand years. The first ones appeared in the Iron Age, and the last ones - in the times of the Crusaders.

To get to Beit Gouvrin, go to highway #35, lying between the towns of Beit Shemesh and Kiryat Gat. The national park is not far from there. It is spread out on a hill that is 400 meters high.
