Description of waterfall:
Gruska jama is a pocket valley, where stream Gruska originates, which is actually the continuation of the stream Gaber, which disappears not far away. The stream originates from beneath the 30 meters high wall, in periods with more water also as a waterfall. A legend says, that on its spot used to be a rich square, which sank, because the inhabitants, even during Lent, did not want to give up the debauched lifestyle, despite the old man's warnings. Among the locals it is known also as Puščavnikova jama (Hermit's cave), because in the period between the two world wars the folk poet Albin Podstenšek or Eremit Valentin lived alone in it..
In the cave there was for some time an illegal dumping site, which was only recently removed and they made a circular path there.
Gruska jama is easily accessible, because it is located just by the road between Prelasko and Kozje, more precisely near the Vrenska Gorca between Buče and Ješovje pri Kozjem. There is also a bus stop, which serves also as the access point.
