It is a vertical cave found upon a notification during the explorations of the Yuvacik region in 2001 by BUMAK. It is located in the Aksigin Village. It ends up; getting narrower at -51 m following two descents. It is likely that it is connected with an active system underneath. According to the local people; the hay that they store during rainy periods resurges at the Köprü cave; which is about 400 -500 m away.
