| Structural Properties and formation : The vicinity of Alisahin Pinari was formed within the Paleozoic gneisses belonging to the Istranca Massif; being overlaid by schists and the Eocene aged Kirklareli limestones. A northwest-southeast directed fault played a role in the geological formation of the cave. There is a big lake with a depth of 1.5-2 m inside the cave. The height of the cave range from 0.5 to 2 m and the width from 2 to 6 m. It divides into two sections; 20 m after the entrance. The Alisahin Cave which has some dripstones in a narrow alcove through the final zone; ends up with a closed siphon having a depth up to 2 m. |
