After a plentiful rainfall, the waterfall shows in all its glory, but it dries up in just a few days when the rain stops. Since it is dry most of the time, the waterfall has the name "Sušec" (comes from the Slovenian word "suša", meaning drought / drought). Recordings can be found on YouTube, Ilirska Bistrica - slap Sušec.
