Geography and Environment: Formed within the Aptian aged Kapuz Formation; which had lithostratigraphic features suitable for karstification or cave development in the Zonguldak region; it is an important form of the Pliocene relief system. The entrance of the cave; which is totally 793 m; is through a fossil mouth facing the sea. Followed by a hole where only one person can fit into after the 50th m; it continues with an underground creek intermittently. There is a siphon at 400 m; which can be passed by walking at low tide. From that point; it continues for another 393 m; ending up with a siphon.
