A cave in the northwestern province of Bursa’s İnegöl district draws interest from local and foreign tourists who want to enjoy its alleged health benefits as well as to see natural beauty. The 730-meter-long and 93-meter-high Oylat Cave is believed to serve as a remedy to health problems such as asthma and bronchitis. The 3 million-year-old cave takes almost 90 minutes to visit. The cave is famous for its colorful stalactites and stalagmites. The cave’s length is only 650 meters. A lot of bats have their home in the cave. Taking photos is forbidden in order not to scare the bats. The cave is located 17 kilometers away from İnegöl, where the Oylat Canyon ends. It can be reached through the İnegöl-Ankara highway. The cave, which is formed by two floors connected to each other, has a meandering profile. It has narrow galleries between the entrance and a big room. This part is between two to five meters wide and the roof height is approximately 15 meters. Stalactite pools occupy a big place here. Also, gravel yards can be seen on this floor.
