| It lies on the northwestern summit of the Sultan Mountains (2519 m) to the south of the Derecine Village of the Sultandagi District. It is on the Afyon-Konya motorway. It can be reached by a 4 hour walk from the Kirazli Plateau. It has a narrow entrance. Ice formation on the walls is explained in connection to the form of the cave and the climate conditions: the water leaking from the walls in the cave; which was developed in a horizontal form; evaporates in summer by strong air draft due to temperature differences. Loss of heat due to evaporation leads to cooling; eventually resulting in formation of an ice layer on the walls. It is told that there is a steam outflow from the cave in winter. The Sultan Mountains and the Buzluk Cave; which have snow until the end of June can only be reached during summer. |
