Bulak Mencilis Cave
Bulak Mencilis Mağarası
Limestone cave about 10 km northwest of Safranbolu, with around 400 metres of paths and lighting open to visitors, showing stalactites, stalagmites and underground streams.
The cave system is several kilometres long, and about 400 metres of it has paths and lighting open to visitors. Features include stalactites, stalagmites, curtain formations and underground streams. Some sections require stooping and climbing steps. The cave stays at around 13°C year-round, so bring a jacket in summer, and wear non-slip shoes because the ground is damp. Entry costs several dozen lira. The cave entrance is near Bulak village, and you can reach it by taxi or hire a car together with the Crystal Terrace.
