Basically, the core attraction of this Srigethuk are three waterfalls that are in one location. The third waterfall falls in the same rock then together flow in the river Oya. Each of the waterfall comes from three springs, namely Dong Poh, Ngandong, and Bleberan. Besides the three main waterfall, there are several small waterfalls - in the Java language called kriwikan - at that location.
This attraction is still fairly new so the infrastructure is still limited. However, do not worry, basic facilities such as toilets and food stalls are available here. Until now, attractions Srigethuk still managed locally by the village Bleberan.
