Location: It was developed on the edge of the Incati Creek where the beach sands formed by the alluvions of the Iliksu Creek joins the limestones. It can be reached from the Zonguldak-Eregli motorway.
Geography and Environment: It is a horizontally developed spring cave. The last 25 m part at +8 m in respect to the entrance was developed within sandstones and claystones. The underground creek passing through the cave gets included in the cave system by acting like a vaucluse through the narrow siphon at the final zone. No remarkable decoration is present; except a few wall and curtain dripstones; small stalactites and pools.
