From the chapel, descend on a path marked with stones. The pathway winds down the mountain. The way to Elijah’s Cave passes ancient water well.
Starting point Stella Maris | Ends at Bat Galim Promenade
The trail begins alongside the Navy Building opposite the Carmelite church and monastery, in the midst of Carob and Mastic trees in a natural forest. Several paths lead to a small domed building - the Holy Family Chapel, which initially served as a windmill. There’s a beautiful view of the sea and Haifa’s neighbourhoods from several terraces next to the chapel and above it. This is the best place to understand Jeremiah's passage: “...and Carmel by the sea; it shall come about” (46.18).
