A warm, humid cave known for its stalactites and stalagmites, whose air is believed to be good for asthma.

Safety warning

The stairs can be slippery from the humidity; the health claims have not been scientifically proven.

Its story

The cave, close to the Cennet-Cehennem (Heaven and Hell) sinkholes, is open to visitors with stairs that make the descent easier. Because of the high humidity and constant temperature inside, it is popularly believed to be good for respiratory conditions. The dripstone formations are toured with lighting.
