It lies on the Hacibekir Ridge; about 2.5 km east-northeast of Yatagan. Like Sariotluk; there is an outflow of vapor from this cave. Early in the morning (in February); it is possible to see vapor rising 2-3 m high from the mouth. The entrance is 150x35 cm; and the bottom becomes so narrow that it does not allow any passage. Presence of vapor indicates that the cave is the chimney of a big joint system opening to the surface. It was explored and mapped to the BCRA 1a standards by BUMAK in 1986.
