Geocache Description:

This cache is about 600 m from the parking location, in the hills of Haifa. It has a nice view of the sea. The hike is not too hard and the main trail is pretty clear. The last bit is overgrown and wearing long pants might be best, due to some thorny bushes. Moderate difficulty.

The trail starts off the neighborhood of Ramat Begin in Haifa, and the cache is located between there and the sea. You can take the number 29 bus. If you drive, park at the curve in the road where Soroka St. turns into Bnei Brit St. There's an electrical tower near the entrance to the trail.

The hike is about 600 m in from the parking location and the terrain is easy to moderate difficulty. There are various branches of the trail, and some can be hard to see. The main point is that there are trails to the cache up until the last 10 m or so---the cache is only a few meters off the trail, on a small hill that overlooks the sea. The last bit is overgrown and wearing long pants might be best, due to some thorny bushes. There's a nice view, particularly at sunset.

As you'll see, it's hard to find a good hiding spot that people can get too, and yet others would not find accidentally. The cache is relatively in the open, but hidden. See the hint for an additional clue.

The cache is a clear plastic container. It contains various small toys and items.
