| Location: The site lies north of Nevsehir; 2.2 km north of Civelek Village; 4.8 km north-northeast of Gülsehir; at the southern ridges of Hirka Mountain; 7 km from Gülsehir District; at the northern bank of Halys. |
| Geography and Environment: The cave is located 600 m north of a water depot at Görlek Tepe; at the upper parts of the eastern slope of a ridged area. It was possible to reach the cave through a gallery; 14 km in length. The main living gallery measures 22x11 m. There are calcite pieces and debris fallen from the roof. Small galleries were observed. It was not possible to locate the main entrance; because some of the galleries were blocked by big rocks. The entrance might be closed thousands of years ago. |
