It can be reached from the road running to Darica deviating at 5th km of the Mihaliccik-Eskisehir motorway. A 3 km stabilized road leads to the cave from the village. It is a spring type of cave which was unable to develop further depending on the narrow extension of limestones. The bottom is covered with a thick pile of soil and sand; and debris at several parts.
