Location: The Kozlu-Güney-Ihsaniye-Kozlu Dam road leads near to the cave. It can be reached after a 15 minute-walk through a pathway inside the creek from the village of Ihsaniye. It lies next to the Ihsaniye Cave.
Geography and Environment: Being a horizontally developed; semi-active cave; it was formed within the Visean limestones; which are very suitable for karstification. At the end of the cave; there is a lake with an approximate depth of 4 m. Like a siphon; it was developed over a joint. The underground creek disappearing at the Ihsaniye Cave; resurges as a spring near the Ihsaniye Creek after passing through this siphon.
