Location: It is located at the Gölpinari Mevkii; which is 1700 m high looking like a plateau near the Arslan Village.
Geography and Environment: The region completely consists of the Miocene aged fractured and jointed limestones. It starts with a 2 m wide rounded entrance; and continues by following meanders at random places with an almost flat incline; and after 285 m the first gallery ends up. Here to the left starts a 65 m long sub-gallery with similar characteristics.
