A complete topographical plan of this cave, which passes to the east into a narrow impassable channel, has been compiled. In terms of the cave is almost a straight course. Immediately behind the entrance there is a rather large entrance hall 3 m high and 4 m wide, then there is a slight narrowing up to 1 m wide, 6-9 m high, then the passage again expands to 8 m and gradually narrows to end of the cave. The height of the passage after expansion is about 2 meters, and in the center of the passage in some places up to 6 m. The cross section of the passage is incorrect, the roof is either flat or turning into a crack. The bottom is horizontal, the walls are treated with water.
The cave was laid in a grayish-white limestone-shell rock, lying horizontally. The bottom is covered with boulders, gravel, clay. There is no water in the cave. The cave is known to the locals, there are a lot of fires and all sorts of rubbish in it. It is mentioned in tourist literature (Pilat, 1968; Pronin, 2002). The cave was described by Odessa speleologists Beskrovna L.A. And
