Ermenek, Karaman
A karstic cave just above Ermenek, from which an underground river cascades out, supplying the town's drinking water.
Safety warning
Its story
The cave was formed on the rocky foothills of the mountains north of Ermenek by water carving out the limestone. The underground water emerging from the cave, which has two entrances, flows like a waterfall and supplies drinking water to the town and surrounding towns; in the past a small hydroelectric power plant was also run with this water. It is within walking distance of the Ermenek district center. Whether the inside of the cave is open to visitors and its lighting situation are uncertain; the area around the entrance and the flowing water can be viewed from outside.
