The name of the cave was received in honor of the canyon, which serves as an entrance to it. And the name of the canyon itself went from the local plant. Even before 1986, no one knew about the existence of such a huge cave. Here was a well called « Slipping Hole », which had dimensions of 30 meters in diameter and 25 meters in depth, which was not very popular among visitors to the local park.
Only in 1950 did the researchers notice that at the bottom of the cave there was some kind of extraneous noise, which prompted the idea of additional moves. This version interested many speleologists who certainly started work. And in 1986, after hard work, the unexplored space of the Leguchi cave was discovered.
