It was discovered by excavation in the deluvial mantle of the slope of the plateau in 1978 at the site of a flood spring approximately 6 m above the level of the permanent karst spring Eveteš by the caver Róbert Boroš. Several hours later, he also walked through it for the first time and partially explored it together with Rožňava caver, Tomáš Lázár.
