Gruska jama

Description of waterfall:
Gruska jama is a blind valley where the Gruska stream emerges, which is actually the resurgence of the Gaber stream that sinks nearby. The stream issues from beneath a 30-meter-high wall, sometimes as a waterfall during periods of higher water flow. Local legend holds that a prosperous market town once stood there, which sank because the inhabitants refused to abandon their debauched lifestyle even during Lent, despite warnings from an old man. Among locals, it is also known as Puščavnikova jama (Hermit's Cave), as the folk poet Albin Podstenšek, known as Eremit Valentin, lived there as a hermit between the two world wars.

For some time, the cave served as an illegal dump for waste, which was only recently remediated, and a circular trail was arranged there.

Gruska jama is easily accessible, lying right beside the road between Prelasko and Kozje, more precisely near Vrenska Gorca between Buče and Ješovje pri Kozjem. There is also a bus stop that serves as an access point.
