Gelemiç

     


It is very close to the Gelemic Village; but it is not easily accessible. It lies right above Sarikaya; situated on a slope visible from the village. After passing through the village; and descending to the valley; a left is made; and then from that point where two creeks meet; the hill is climbed. Where a steep scree ends lies the cave to the left of a big rock. The mouth of the cave is small and it faces the opposite slope. There is no water inflow; but it is very muddy. It consists of an inclining gallery; and no remarkable decorations were seen.
