This region is located in the heart of the country, in the Judean foothills, in the area known as the Shephelah. The Shephelah region stands out for its landscape diversity and abundance of historical sites. In addition to the cave cities, you will encounter other historical monuments such as settlements, fortifications, churches, cemeteries, ruins of walls and towers, but everywhere there are artificial caves - large and small, standing alone or grouped together in complexes. Throughout the journey, you will witness fragments of the centuries-old history of the Holy Land - the bloody Maccabean wars, the magnificent cities of the Roman Empire, the remains of fortresses and churches from the time of the Crusaders, and much more...

Attractions
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.
