| Location: |
| Structural Properties and formation : The formation where the cave was composed on calcareous wall at the spot where the canyon leads Pasaçayiri Stream into the plain, belongs to Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous Age. Although the cave contains four identified openings, one or more openings were shut by alluvium. It is a fossil cave. Some sections contain intense formations. |
| Research History: The survey of the cave found by the British FACC team in 1992 was completed by ASPEG in 2008. |
| Findings: The number of animals living inside the cave is high. There is a bat colony (miyotis - miyotis) in the cave. There are bone remains of animals such as wild cats, forest dormouse (dryomys nitedula) and fat dormouse (glis glis). |
