KOZJANSKO REGIONAL PARK

Gruska is a striking pocket valley just off the main road leading from Kozje to Buče. The trail leads through the solitary Kozjansko karst – you can observe a surface watercourse, a sinkhole, a spring, a pocket valley and cave tunnels, or you can transport yourself in your imagination far into the past, when legends and stories about this unusual valley were created. Many amphibians have found their habitat in the pond floor.
