Its story
The cave is in the Cumayanı neighborhood of Kilimli, on the Çatalağzı–Körpeoğlu–Cumayanı road, at an altitude of about 22 m. Surveyed in 1975, the cave was measured at 1,085 m long. It begins at the point where Kızılelma Cave, one of Türkiye's longest caves, discharges its water, and opens to the outside through several mouths; it has two main passages, one wet and the other dry. Seven different bat species are said to live in the fossil branch. In the large hall, travertine formations stretching like a bridge over the underground stream are striking.
