It is a natural cave inhabited by humans, with the absolute altitude of 305 m, the relative one of 20 m and a total length of 1.000 m, having an entranceway 3.05 m high, 5 m wide and a corridor leading to a bridge over the lake, to a spherical space named "Globe". Discovered in 1903, G. Czaran published a guide of the cave in 1905. Researched also by Marton Roska between the two World Wars, and in 1952 by H. Kessler and by other researchers who, besides a rich troglobiont flora, mention a Tisa and Bronze Age Neolithic pottery. The materials are analogous to those in the Devent II, III caves nearby. The cave is open for visitors accompanied by a guide. The archaeological traces foun...d here belong to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
