Geocache Description:


The unfinished aquaduct in Binyamina-Giv'at Ada was uncovered in 1950 by the settlement's doctor, Dr. Hamburger, who was an amateur archaeologist. The length of the aquaduct is about 250 meters, of which approximately 80 meters are exposed. Researchers believe that the Romans who dug the aquaduct intended to alter its course to bypass the Kabbara marshes and ensure the flow of water to Caesarea. For some reason, they did not complete its construction. Today, the site features a public park with KKL tables.

walk along the aquaduct and find the gap in the fance toyour right. next to the V-shape eucaliptus tree there will be the cach

אמת המים הבלתי גמורה שבבנימינה – גבעת עדה, נחשפה בשנת 1950 ע"י רופא המושבה דר' המבורגר שהיה ארכיאולוג חובב. אורך האמה כ 250 מטר, מתוכה החלק החשוף כ 80 מטר. החוקרים סבורים שכוונת הרומאים שחפרו במקום הייתה, ניסיון לשנות את תוואי האמה שתעקוף את ביצות הכבארה ותבטיח את זרימת המים לקיסריה. משום מה לא סיימו את בנייתה. כיום במקום גן ציבורי עם שולחנות של קק"ל
