Buzluk Cave

Located near Harput, Buzluk Cave is known for naturally forming ice during the hot summer months due to its underground air circulation and geomorphological structure. Its warmer character in winter, cool conditions in summer, and views from the rocky surroundings opening toward Keban Dam Lake make the cave an unusual nature destination.
