| Location: It is 22 km far from Silifke; 63 km southwest of Mersin. It is an elliptical depression pit with a dimension of 50x75 m; opened vertically 75 m east of the Cennet Cukuru (Heaven). |
| Structural Properties and formation : It was formed as a result of the roof collapse due to erosion by an underground creek within the Miocenic calcareous deposits. It is elliptical and has a dimension of 50x75 m. It is steeper and narrower compared to the Cennet Obrugu. The debris accumulated at the bottom of the pothole due to the collapsed roof descends with a 30 degrees inclination toward east from west. |
| Research History: It was first explored by T. Aygen. |
