The name Altinbeshik means 'Golden Cradle', in fact, this is the name of a mountain, not a cave, but the name is firmly entrenched behind the cave because it is she who is one of the most spectacular sights of the region. The karst system itself was discovered only in 1966, this is an unusual place because the cave has several levels with its own characteristics.
