The entrance of the cave; which locates in Besikcioglu Farm; starts with a big fault and then opens into a wide room. It becomes narrow after this room; continues with a "U" shaped corridor and opens into a wide room again. One of the branches continuing from this room cannot be entered because it goes down in a muddy and slippery condition. The other branch opens into a new room with decorations. After this gallery there is a small room at the end of a narrow passage and another branch going down. There is an oval lake with 2 m width and 7 m length that is considered as a siphon at the bottom of this descent. This gallery is the end of the cave and also the widest part of it. The cave was explored by EMAK in 2000. |
