| Kale I Cave is located in rocky terrain near the forest north-east of Çukurpınar Village. Kale I Cave has formed in the contact zone of Paleozoic granites and Mesozoic marbles along the north-eastern edge of Strandja Massif. The cave has a very narrow entrance and after the entrance there is a small chamber covered by depression rocks. There are no flowstone formations in the cave. No archaeological relics have been observed on the cave floor of Kale I Cave. No bats were encountered in Kale I Cave in either of the surveys. The most important finding in this cave is the newly described spider species, Harpactea coramani sp. n. |
