| Location: It lies 3 km east of the Kara Cave. Between two caves flows the Girdap Creek in a canyon-like deep valley. The entrance overviews the Sakarya River. It can be reached from the Alpu-Karacaören-Otluk or Bozan-Büzdüg-Agachisar-Kandamlamis-Otluk roads. From the quarter of the Atcim of the Otluk Village; it takes one hour to walk to the cave. |
| Structural Properties and formation : Consisting of three interconnected levels; it was formed within the Mid-Triassic Early Upper Cretaceous limestones. The fractured structure of these limestones resulted in a cage-like formation for the cave. It has three separate entrances. It is a fossil cave; which halted its development. |
