| It locates on the first hill right of the dirt road climbing to Sivri Mountain from Kiriklar Village. The name of Buharli Magara (Steam Cave) is given because of the dense steam coming out of the cave especially in winter.The cave starts with a joint of 2x0.7 m dimensions and after a 3 m descent divides into two branches. One of the branches is occluded after a 1 m descent. It seems like the stones fall from upper parts have blocked the joint; but there is a strong air flow coming from the bottom. It is planned to try to open this pass in order to find out whether if the cave is continuing ahead. It was explored by EMAK in 2000. |
