| It can be reached by a 1-1.5 hour walk from the Hatipler Quarter of the Karamustafa Village. It lies 500 m northeast of the Ucbacali Hill (2339 m). It is a passage type of fossil cave; developed horizontally. It was exposed as a result of collapse of a roof of an old underground cavity on a pronounced fault line within the Malm-Lower Cretaceous limestones. Initially it is a big depression doline. The inside is covered by ice decorations. It was explored by MTA in 1991. The floor is partially covered with ice and a thick guano of bats. |
