Location: It is located on the northern slope of the Inkaya Hill (515 m) facing Sakarya River; to the immediate south of the Inhisar District; northwest of Eskisehir. It can be reached from the Bilecik-Sögüt-Inhisar-Saricakaya or Eskisehir-Sögüt-Inhisar and Eskisehir-Sarikaya-Mihalgazi-Inhisar motorways. A road leads near to the cave.
Geography and Environment: Geomorphologically it is a part of a similar system with the Inhisar Cave. It was developed horizontally in the north-south direction. It has two entrances; one natural; and another man-made. There are stalactites; stalagmites; column and and drapery dripstones at several sections. Located in the vadose zone; it is a fossil cave which halted its development. Therefore; it has no connection with underground waters.
