It presents two entrances of large dimensions. The principal gallery is sub-fossil, at a superior level there is found a fossil gallery.

In the interior, the cave presents a circular abyss and a dolina which have the function of overflow, in such a manner then when the level of the water from the Zaton Lake grows, the water goes up flooding the cave, for it to draw off step by step together with the dropping of the level from Zaton.
