Buzluk Cave

Located near Harput, Buzluk Cave is known for its natural ice formation during the hot summer months, caused by underground air circulation and its geomorphological structure. Its warmer character in winter, cool atmosphere in summer and views extending from the rocky surroundings towards Keban Dam Lake make the cave an extraordinary nature destination.
