The entire area is quite picturesque and holds some great hidden gems. Cicektepe Village Cave, Bingol is quite rich in terms of naturally formed caves. Cicektepe Village Cave is one of the rare areas that bears the marks of ancient settlements. The cave consists of two rooms and a gallery, and its walls bear the traces of the past.

The site is an attraction for tourists with its wall embellishments that resemble the medieval architecture and is waiting for you with its structure founded in the middle of steep rocks.
