Hidden in Kfar Saba forest next to forest's hard packed road.
This is the first real (not virtual) cache in Israel and was the start of geocaching in this country. Today there are over 300 caches in Israel. After being vandalized several times, the cache has been moved to a location away from the picnic area and hopefully will be safer.
The Cache is now near the forest road, but you can take a nice 10 min hike if you begin outside the forest on Dvora Ha'nevia street/ Elisha Street, and take the trail along the fields going West (you will see the forest up on the hill) You can also drive a car on this trail - be careful in the winter after rain - cars have gotten stuck here.
The safest way to the forest by car is at the traffic circle on Daniel - Treyasar St. (you turn onto Daniel Street from Ben Yehuda street - the road that connects Kfar Saba with Ra'anana at the North Ra'anana junction on highway 4.)
Take a left turn at the traffic circle (actually you need to turn a bit after the traffic circle, that's where the driveway up is) and this back road will take you to the forest behind the fence of the agricultural farm (children in 5th and 6th grades from the Kfar Saba City schools come here once a week to learn about agriculture and work in the fields) and the Kfar Saba Democratic School.
At the T in the dirt road take a right up to the forest.
There are picnic tables in the forest and a water faucet as well (down the central East/West path of the forest)
The cache is in a clear plastic box. Contents are protected in a plastic bag.
