It is an active cave situated in the west wall of the Duzce Canyon, located in Duzce Village, in Safranbolu, in the province of Karabuk. When water rises, it exceeds the height of human body in the main hall and outflows through west mount with a high flow rate. In that times therefore only the narrow entrance at side becomes suitable to move in. But level of water decreases and enables cave for a fully survey in autumn [Obruk 2010: 14].
