pay attention:
The cache requires climbing a ladder to a height of 3 meters.
The Binyamina Quarry is located on the slopes of Ramat Handiv, in the area called: "The Nose of Carmel" not far from Binyamina. This is a quarry that was active in the past, to this day what remains are the many mechanical devices that were rented from the earth, "treasures" such as materials for the construction industry and more.
The Fund for the Rehabilitation of the Quarries in Israel has turned the place into a conservation site. The quarry is parallel to Nahal Taninim, which is clearly visible to its left.
background
Binyamina Quarry was established in 1930. This is for the clear purpose of establishing the Land of Israel. while relying on local raw materials as well as Jewish personnel. This mainly helped the new immigrants who came from different countries in the world and were unemployed.
The Binyamina Quarry began as an initiative of the PKA company, in favor of using stone to pave a road from Binyamina to Pardes Hana. More recently, the workers at the quarry established a cooperative association and in fact managed the factory themselves. A drive along the Binyamina Quarry
Driving along the Binyamina Quarry When World War II began, the ownership of the quarry passed into the hands of the Solel Bona organization. and was operated by their subsidiary company, which was then called "Stone and Lime". The rocks that were quarried here in the Binyamina area got a good name in the construction industry ("Bniyamina Stone"). Because of its strength and its durability, it became very sought after in the construction industry in Israel.
In the 1990s, after the reserves of raw materials found in the quarry were actually fully utilized. The process of quarrying and industrial use ended there in favor of restoring the quarry for natural purposes. For example: planting vegetation suitable for this climate, a lake with water at the bottom of the quarry, bringing back animals and birds that used to roost in this area.
The cache is located on one of the railway facilities that is not for preservation and requires climbing a ladder to a height of 3 meters.
The container is magnetic, please return it to a place where it will not fall to the ground.
After finding the treasure, I recommend going to the confluence of Nahal Taninim and the Israel Railway to an amazing corner where you can enter the water. There is a lot of shade and a KKL table. You can walk on stones and cross the stream.
In addition, the entire area of the quarry has many amazing places to see and you can spend a few hours there having fun.
The most impressive is the Moran observation deck next to the giant Israel flag.
***I come from the world of planning***
There is a concept called section 77-78. This means that a complex is declared where it is not possible to plan all of them, including building permits.
I would love to declare the Binyamina Quarry area as Complex 77-78, I have some ideas for nice caches in the area.
Of course it's illegal, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't hide caches in the area.
I decided to release the first cache in the area even though I haven't completed the other caches.
thanks, David♥️
