Location: It is 1550 m high from the sea level on the northern elongation of the Dedegöl-Dippoyraz Mountain; which has an elevation of 3000 m; 11 km west of the Yenisarbademli District of Isparta. It can be reached either from Yenisarbademli on the western shore of the Beysehir Lake or Egirdir-Yenice or Sarkikaraagac-Yenisarbademli.
Geography and Environment: It has characteristics of being the longest cave with the highest positive altitude of 720 m; and the most cold water of 4-5 degrees. It is very difficult to explore due to a 50 m siphon in the immediate entrance and other long siphons; and falls and travertines which require climbing. Furthermore; the fact that the inner water is very cold and presence of a strong wind makes it much more difficult for survey [Degirmenci-Günay 1989:53-54].
