It lies to the east of Murat Buldugu Cave near the Musabozulu Mevkii on the Bolkar Mountains. It was developed within a joint on the southern slope of the hill it is located. The main exploration area; Bolkar Mountains; is completely formed within the fractured and jointed Miocene limestones. The most common fossil groups in the region are Gastropods and Shells. Locally found are ultrabasics. The fault breccias observed inside the cave indicate that the cave was developed within a joint. It was explored by the Cave Research Club of the Dokuz Eylül University (DEUMAK).
