The cave, which is one of the biggest in Turkey and around the size of 2.5 football fields, was found in 10 within the boundaries of Akçakale District, 1996, minutes from the city center. Since then, it has not been opened to the public due to the risk of rockfall.

Adventurers and lovers of the natural world are impressed by the cave’s unique atmosphere and charm. The interior area of the cave is 18,500 square meters, or the equivalent of 2.5 football fields, with a height difference of 95 meters between its mouth and its deepest portion.

Even though it is said that the cave is in the old age period and contains many interesting formations like stalactites, stalagmites, and cave pearls on the debris pile as well as on the walls and ceiling of the cave, which is rich in dripstone shapes, the cave is deemed dangerous for experts to open to tourism due to the formation of important piles on the floor of the rock blocks collapsed from the ceiling.

The existence of dripstone forms on unidentified rocks is remarkable. Akcakale Cave, which features dripstone formations and a ceiling height of four meters, offers visitors the chance to take in the tranquil symphony of nature while listening to the sound of waterfalls created by water cascading from the roof. The cave is reminiscent of a nature art gallery.

Athletes who had previously taken pictures of the city’s historical and natural attractions and are members of the Gümüşhane Mountaineering, Nature Sports and Youth Association (GÜDAK) captured some special images by capturing the intriguing ambiance of Akçakale Cave.

The athletes immortalized these beauty by reflecting them in the picture frames using the light sources they brought with them, while they marveled at the lakes and waterfalls in the cave, some of which dried up because of the dry autumn season. They also took in the dripstone formations on the ceiling, floor, and wall.

Throughout the course of the programme, the visitors who travelled through the terrain of Gumushane, which is composed of 60% mountains, could not conceal their amazement at the vistas they encountered that exceeded their expectations. The party of 17 Istanbul residents, including academics who enjoy walking and history, successfully finished the activity and left the city.

The Eastern Black Sea Development Agency (DOKA) and the Gümüşhane Mountaineering, Nature Sports and Youth Association (GÜDAK) helped the Governorship of Gümüşhane create the book “Gümüşhane Cultural Route and Tourism Discovery Guide” in 2016. According to Ersin Demirel, the 384-kilometer Gümüşhane Cultural Route, which begins at Zigana Ski Centre and ends at mera Monastery, is one of the most stunning.

Demirel, who claimed that the geography of Gümüşhane is one of the unique geographies of the Black Sea as well as Turkey, urged those who have not yet visited there to do so. He said,

“During our event, the Krom Valley, the land of lonely churches on the steep hills with its impressive geography, deserted churches, alpine meadows, and magnificent landscapes, is a place that can only be witnessed in the current state of the old rustic houses that you will see Our team enjoyed every aspect of Yamurdere Village and Sarçiçek Rooms, two of the outstanding examples of traditional Turkish homes.”

Demirel said that the group, which loves both walking and history, has amazing passion and joy everywhere they go, they depart merrily, and Gümüşhane is a destination beyond expectations. Demirel also said that they will return to Gümüşhane with different groups throughout the year.
