| A road leads from Babakonak (Tilbsik) to the skirts of the southern ridge where Inönü is located on; followed by a short walk to reach to the cave. It is a sinkhole type of fossil cave; which developed with inclination. It was formed within the Malm-Lower Cretaceous limestones. The final zone was developed along a fault; and the walls and bottom are adorned with dripstones. It was explored by MTA in 1991. |
