Güvercinlik Cave in Güneysınır, Konya, is a 130-metre-deep vertical cave known for its large underground chamber and diverse geological formations. Located at an altitude of 1,090 metres, the cave offers a remarkable underground environment that is currently accessible only to professional cavers.
Located in the Güneybağ area of Güneysınır district, Güvercinlik Cave extends 130 metres below the surface. After the vertical descent, visitors reach a large underground chamber measuring approximately 346 metres in length. The chamber is reported to be among the largest known chambers in vertical caves in Türkiye and Europe, with an area roughly comparable to the size of a football field.
The cave is home to a variety of natural formations created over long periods of geological development. These include curtain formations, flag and wall stalactites, and cave milk, offering a diverse landscape of underground features.
Because of its 130-metre vertical descent, the cave is not currently suitable for general visitors and can be explored by professional cavers with the necessary technical equipment and experience. Efforts are underway to develop projects that could improve the cave’s accessibility and help bring its natural and cultural value to a wider audience.
