| It lies on the southern slope of Akdag (3 km) rising to the west of the Cimagil Village. It can be reached after an one-hour walk from the village through steep slopes. It is a passage type of fossil cave. It was developed within the Malm-Lower Cretaceous limestones. The dripstones and collapse structures divided the cave into many halls. The water leaking from ceiling and lateral walls during rainy seasons formed lakes in deep pits. Other parts are dry. Bats were frequently seen. It was explored by MTA in 1991. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
