The Subterranean Labyrinth in the Heart of Rock Climbing
Located in the world-renowned rock climbing hub of Geyikbayırı, this cave is known for its vertical structure and impressive depth. Acting as a sinkhole (ponor), the cave is one of the most striking examples of the region's karstic topography. Reaching a depth of approximately 120 meters, Geyikbayırı Cave is a technical route that only professional cavers can fully explore.
A Vertical Adventure
Although the cave's entrance is quite narrow, inside it contains vast chambers and interconnecting galleries. The stalactite and stalagmite formations inside are still "living," meaning they continue to grow with active water droplets. For athletes visiting Geyikbayırı for climbing, this cave serves as an exciting side route that showcases the subterranean potential of the region.
