Tuz Cave

Historical Museum / Turkiye, Central Anatolia, Çankırı


Tuz Cave

It is believed that the salt deposits have been used since the Hittite Period. They constitute Türkiye's largest rock salt reserves. The cave was formed through excavations for salt mining. The fascinating cave's size allows trucks to move freely in it.

There is also an exhibition of sculptures made of rock salt, and realistically replicated Orkhon Monuments in the cave. Also very interesting for the visitors to see is the mummified donkey, which, due to the then conditions, was left back in a corner 200 years ago, after it broke its leg.
