The forest road which takes around 40 minutes leads to the quarter of Abut. Then; a 20 minute walk is required toward the northwest to reach to the Abut Kayasi. The cave is located slightly down the Abut Kayasi Hill; 20 m inward the small forest. |
| Structural Properties and formation : The mouth of the entrance surrounded by soil and roots of trees and the south wall by rocks; it is a 15x10 m shaft. It becomes narrower down to 2-3 m after 50 m; and then enlarges again like a cone. It ends up with a 15x10 m hall where there is a hillock in the middle; consisting of debris and rocks. |
