The cave is located at the 2 thousand 150th meter of Kuzkaya Hill, which is 2 thousand 260 meters high.
The cave is entered through a narrow and low entrance opening 20 meters long. The first section has a circular form approximately 35 meters in diameter. From this section, by climbing the terraces to the north, one passes to the second section of the cave through a very narrow passage, but only by crawling. This section is approximately 6 meters in diameter and 3 meters high. Local people say that the cave continues after the second section as well. However, no passageway has been found here. There are many stalactites and stalagmites in both sections. It is estimated that the cave has remained in its natural form since its formation and that most of it has not been touched by human hands.
