| Location: The Quarter of Habibler is accessible by any kind of vehicle from the Karamustafa Village. From there the Eceltasi Hill where the cave is located on can be reached after a half an hour walk. |
| Geography and Environment: It was formed within the Malm-Lower Cretaceous limestones on two pronounced crossing joints. There is a remarkable difference of altitude between the karstic and morphological base levels. It looks like a narrow and low gallery until the hall at the final zone; which is rich in stalactites and stalagmites. It is dry in all seasons. |
