Location: It lies on the upper right slope of the Kille Creek to the immediate north of the Nusret Town; 9 km south of the Kepsut District. A road runs from the town of Nusret up to the slope near the cave; followed by a 20-minute walk on this steep slope to reach.
Geography and Environment: Its formation was initiated when the sinkhole; which is 45-50 m high from the base of valley; started to be buried into the bed of the stream. The entrance is a -27 m shaft. It is located on the vadose zone. It has been entirely fossilized and it is dry in all seasons.
