From there it’s an easy thirty-minute walk to Črno jezero (Black Lake). The rare plant habitats will amaze you. Sink in a dreamy land of peat mosses, quietness, forests, and a remarkable climate with pure fresh air as you can only find it in unspoiled nature! The lake is overgrown with pine and peat moss.
For years, organic waste from dead plants and animals has accumulated at the bottom of the lake and, over time, creating a thick layer of silt, a dark, black color. Due to this, the lake looks as it is full of ink, although the water is crystal clear. With its forest surroundings, Black Lake is protected as a forest reserve.
