401 General view of the cliffs northeast of the Cave Village
402 We descend on a path from the summit of Mt. Arbel
403 Midway down and looking up
404 A pause in the descent
405 The path continues downwards
406 The first landmark, a natural cave housing many bats
407 View from the cave, over the Sea of Galilee
408 View from just outside the cave: perhaps a sentry post
409 Rounding the northern tip of the Arbel range of cliffs
410 The second landmark: a huge niche in the cliff face
411 The first definite signs of human cave-quarrying
412 The first cave on this approach: another sentry post?
413 A few quarried caves in a higher position
414 Another huge niche in the cliff face; man-made or natural rock formation?
415 Small caves in a very inaccessible position above the niche; note railings at the top left, marking the summit
416 A few more inaccessible caves
417 Increasing in number as we move south
418 Here the northeastern section of cliffs ends
419 And the Arbel Cave village begins at the Great Cave
420 A look back at the Sea of Galilee at dusk
421 An unforgettable view over the cradle of Christianity
