The cave spans a total length of 1,012 meters, but only a portion is accessible to the general public.
It is considered an 'active' cave, meaning geological formation processes like water dripping and mineral deposition are ongoing.
The cave is formed within limestone layers that exhibit significant structural deformation.
It is locally referred to by some residents as a 'healing cave' due to claims regarding the air quality inside.
The temperature remains relatively constant year-round, regardless of the fluctuating surface weather.
Fakıllı Mağarası is a 1,012-meter-long cave system located in the Akçakoca district of Düzce, Turkey. The cave is characterized by intense karstification, featuring diverse dripstone formations including stalactites, stalagmites, and cave pearls. It remains an active cave system with high humidity levels and a stable internal temperature. The interior is equipped with illumination to highlight the geological formations along the walking path. Local folklore suggests the cave has therapeutic properties for respiratory conditions, though these claims remain anecdotal. It sits in a forested landscape, reflecting the typical geology of the Western Black Sea region. The cave was registered as a first-degree natural site to ensure the protection of its subterranean ecosystem.

Wear shoes with good grip, as the internal walkways can become slippery due to high humidity and water dripping.
Bring a light jacket, as the internal cave temperature is consistently lower than the outdoor summer heat.
Avoid touching the cave walls or formations, as oils from human skin can disrupt the delicate mineral growth process.
Do not attempt to explore beyond the illuminated, marked pathways for safety reasons.
Stay within the marked path to protect the cave's natural formations and avoid littering.
