Location: It is located on the Kobartkasi Ridge; 2 km east of Beyköy. The skirts of the ridge where the cave is located can be reached from a stabilized road; deviating at 7th km of the Kepsut-Dursunbey motorway. Then; a half and hour climbing among short macchias leads to the cave. |
Structural Properties and formation : Until recently; there were lead mines in the cave and its vicinity. It is a fossil cave which halted its geological development. There are digged galleries inside; therefore figures of the first formation have all been disappeared. The first entrance is a -15 m shaft. |
Research History: It was explored and mapped by MTA; and published in 1997. |
Findings: A few bats were seen in the final zone. |
