| It was formed in parallel to the edge of the calcareous plateau where the Mizrak and Sican caves are situated. It has three entrances; there are several levels in the first descent and continues in parallel to the edge of the calcareous plateau. In the entrance; there are big blocks of rocks. Two branches were found around them. One of them is connected to the other entrance; which was isolated by blocks of rocks when advanced by crawling under. Again; a catwalk among the blocks of rocks in the entrance leads to a gallery covered with mud. While moving here; beautiful decorations can be seen. In 1992; FACC; a British team explored the Kastamonu-Cide region consisting of the Jura-Cretaceous limestones; under the guidance of Nuri Güldal from MTA. The measurements of length and depth provided in the report are only for the section traversed; and it has been reported that the cave continues. |
