It is located on the Pinarbasi-Azdavay road; about 4-5 km east of the Pinarbasi District. It is impressively big and it has many galleries (20x20 m) adorned with beautiful decorations and connected with very narrow pathways. The fourth catwalk following the first three couldn't have been crossed. But; a sound test indicated that there may be a large hall behind. Due to restricted time; no attempts were made to find out any gallery reaching this hall. It was explored by British cavers in 1992.
