Geocache Description:

The cache is at one of the main junctions of the area, where Moshe Dayan Blvd. intersects Yekutiel Adam St. and the Jerusalem Light Rail. The Yekutiel Adam Station is on the opposite side of the junction. Bring a pen.


Pisgat Zeev is one of the largest neighborhoods in Jerusalem with a population of 41,799 in 2015. Building started in 1982, with moving into the first apartments in 1985. Meaning "Zeev's Summit", it is named after Zeev Jabotinsky  (1880 – 1940), Revisionist Zionist leader, author,  soldier and founder of the Odessa Jewish Self-Defense Organization.

There are numerous archeological sites dispersed throughout the neighborhood. Next to the cache is "Knowledge Park" Hebrew: Gan HaYeda,  Arabic: "Ras Abu Ma'ruf" which was excavated in 1990 and 1993 and is dated to the second temple period. On the site, a ritual bath (Mikveh), olive oil press, wine pressing basin, water hole and mosaic were discovered.

Also next to the cache is a red metal street sculpture known as "Pesel Adom" (red sculpture) inspired by a horse leg.
