A good place to take a short break and refill your bottles before the climb to Ivanšćica.

Quiet and shaded forest spot on Ivanšćica. The name “Črne mlake” roughly means “black ponds”, which gives the place a slightly mysterious feel. According to local legend, witches used to gather here.

The steep part is actually very short, so it is not as hard as it looks. Beautiful scenery all around, with a well-maintained gravel road.

Very nice and cosy mountain hut. Good food and accommodation. In summer there are various evening/night activities (e.g. outdoor cinema, workshops, outdoor escape room...). Recommended.

Nino has already copied a very valuable text about the old town, I would only add that it looks impressive in all seasons and is worth a look. There are signs prohibiting entry on the driveways.
