It is situated on the southern edge of the Jasovská Plateau, northerly from the Turnianske Podhradie. It is formed in the Mesozoic Middle Triassic pale Wetterstein limestones of the Silica Nappe. The cave reaches the length of 933 m and depth of 203 m.
The first information on the abyss gave G. Stibrányi sr. in 1947. He penetrated to the depth of 52 m in 1953. The main lower parts of the cave were discovered by cavers from Košice in 1986. The set of cascading abysses ends with horizontal passages. Underground water course appears in the depth of 150 m under the Easter Well and forms several waterfalls and cascades. Waters fall 23 m in the Great Waterfall. The waters from the Kunia Abyss penetrate through unknown spaces to the Skalistý potok Cave and to the homonymous spring on the foothill of the Jasovská Plateau. Flowstone fills include straw stalactites, stalagmites, curtains, cascade rimstones and lacustrine water lilies.
