Location: It lies on the southern edge of the Emedük Plain; 2 km to south of the Sincansarnic Village. A road deviating from the Mustafakemalpasa-Sögütalan-Bursa motorway to the village leads near to the cave.
Geography and Environment: It was formed along with a northeast-southwest directed fault line within the Jura Lower Cretaceous aged limestones. It has a total of five steep descents; where most was developed over huge depression blocks. The mouth of the entrance is among the blocks; near a big depression doline. Unsettled blocks comprising the steps may constitute a danger. There is no water inflow in the sinkhole; which is located on the former terrace-like base of the polje.
