Ein Tanur - an ancient female spring near Ein Motz

All information about Ein Tanur - an ancient female spring near Ein Motz: not far from Ein Motz, among the ruins of the ancient Tel Tanur (Hurvat Tanur Ha'Atika), there is a hidden water cistern (niche/culvert). From Ein Motz, people usually return to the ruins of Hurvat Chanot, but what many don't know is that about 200 meters west, down the stream where the spring is located, there is an amazing cistern (niche/culvert) that drains Ein Tanur. The cistern is from two different periods, with the older section dated to the First Temple period. In order to increase the spring's flow in the past, people dug a cistern into the rock at the spring, thereby increasing the amount of water. You can enter to a depth of about 12 meters. You need a flashlight, preferably a headlamp. It's important to keep the place clean. Overnight stays are prohibited (a designated night parking lot is located at Hurvat Chanot).
