Situated on the Horný vrch Plateau, westerly from the upper part of the Zádielska Gorge. Typical, gravitationally widened crevasse cave reaches the length of 100 m and depth of 25 m. The roof is closed by collapsed boulders. It is formed in the Mesozoic Middle Triassic pale Wetterstein limestones of the Silica Nappe.
The cave has pea flowstone decoration in some places. There are smaller dripstones and layers of ice fill in the western part of the cave. The ice partially melts in summer months, yet it persists all year round.
Invertebrates are represented by multipede Hylebainosoma tatranum, which is Western Carpathian endemic species. Harvestman Ischyropsalis manicata is a representative of troglophilic spiders on cave walls.
