Gökgöl Cave, Show cave in Zonguldak Province, Turkey.

The Gökgöl Cave extends 3,350 meters through limestone formations, featuring an underground stream and numerous mineral deposits along its illuminated pathways.

Local speleologist Temuçin Aygen discovered this natural formation in 1976, leading to its development and public opening as a show cave in 2001.

The cave sections from entrance to depression hall contain specific names: Fossil Entrance, Asthma Hall, Hall of Wonders, and Hall of Miracles.

Visitors can explore 875 meters of concrete pathways with electric lighting, maintaining a constant temperature of 13 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

The cave walls display marine fossils dating back 372-328 million years, remnants from the ancient Paleotethys-Reyik ocean that once covered this region.
