It was formed in limestones of the Upper Devonian. The cave has the form of a corridor running in meridional direction, from which there are side branches. A stream flows for 150 meters in the far part of the main passage. The largest grotto is 70 m long, 45 m wide and 8 m high. The floor of the grotto is covered with blocks of limestone.

In some places there are gurs and small stalagmites. The total length of the cave is 1000 m and the depth is 40 m.
