Geocache Description:


After two years of rennovations, the hill garden of Har Habanim or Yad Labanim is open again. 

This is a great garden worth exploring and has many nice viewpoints to the north, east and west.

Here we are at the northern and main viewpoint, above the "crazy house", few meters from the original gray crazy house, both designed by same architect. The tower is open in the mornings and afternoons along with the memorial hall and exhibitions inside the building. If you want to climb the tower and door is closed, ask the personnel of the place.

What you see? To the west Tel Aviv. To the north west maybe a glimpse of the sea, reading power station and north Tel Aviv. To the north, the towers in front of Ayalon Mall and behind them Park Hayarkon, and in the distance Ramat Hasharon. To the north east, Bney Brak and far far away Hod Hasharon. To the east, Bney Brak and behind it Petah Tikva. On a good day, usually better after rain, the hills of Samaria are visible more clearly.

About the cache:

GZ is at the black gate. Cache is available 24/7, also when gate is closed. If gate is open, be more cautious as visitors may surprise you from both directions.

BYOP

 

Public transportation:

If you arrive by bus or by foot you will need to climb the hill, making it a higher terrain. There are numerous entrances and staircases. From the north - Hibat Zion St. (Bus #61) through Tzel Hagivaa St. From the west - Ben Guryon St (Bus #67). From the east - Haroe St. (Bus #61, #65, #32, #33) through Uziel St. From the south - Jerusalem Blvd. (Bus #60, #63, #67, #267).
