Description    Deutsch  ·  English

The Dim Cavern is a natural cavern formed by the dissolving of limestone rock by the seepage of rainwater through natural cracks from the surface. Rainwater takes carbondixide from the air and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rain water seeps into the caverns, dissolving the limestone and thus enlarging the cavern.
The age of the caverns are not precisely determined, although it is assumed to be between 500.000 and 1.000.000 years, as most of the other carstic cave systems in Turkey are.
For further information have a look at the nearby information panel.
In order to log this Earth Cache, please send the answers to the following questions beforehand to my profile email address .
  • explain how the columns inside the cavern are formed
  • what is the approximate height above sea level
  • what is the approximate distance to the sea

Although not strictly necessary, I would be happy if you take a photo of you at the Earth Cache site and upload it with your log entry

The cave system was declared a Nature Reserve Area in 1990 and opened to the public in September 1997.

After your visit to the caves, you might want to search for the Dim Cave Traditional cache just in the vicinity. The Damlatas Magarasi Earthcache is well worth a visit, too.
Please enjoy the view from the mountain top too. There is a telescope just next to the parking lots.

Für solche Sehenswürdigkeiten ist ein Erdcache genau das Richtige. Wir sind das erste Mal im nicht-europäischen Ausland im Urlaub. Auf Empfehlung sind wir in die Türkei gereist, um auch noch mal für den deutschen Winter ein wenig Sonne zu tanken.
Cool Heute haben meine Familie und ich einen tollen Ausflug nach Alanya gemacht und sind mit einer Reisegruppe zur Dim-Tropfsteinhöhle gefahren. Anbei einige Bilder (von vielen). Achtung, man schwitzt in der Höhle nicht nur vom Treppensteigen, sondern ebenfalls von der hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit.
