Rosh Hanikra (
Hebrew: ראש הנקרה meaning: "head of the rock caves") is a geologic formation on the
Mediterranean Coast in western
Galilee, on the Israeli side of the
Israel-
Lebanon border. It is a white chalk cliff face which opens up into spectacular grottos. "
Rosh Hanikra" can be translated as "Head of the Grotto". The name "Nikra" is from the Arabic "Nakura" that means tunnel. There is also a
kibbutz by the same name nearby. The bridge and the railway tunnel are part of the railway tracks Haifa-Beirut-Tripoli built by the
British Government during the Second World War.
