Black Lake (Pohorje)

Highlight • Lake

Black Lake is the largest lake in Pohorje, covering an area of just over two hectares. The well-known geographer Anton Melik assumes that the lake was formed in the feudal period, when the upper part of the shallow ravine of the Ribniščica stream was enclosed (Anton Melik: Styria with Prekmurje and the Mežica Valley, Slovenska matica, 1957). At that time, the forests on this side of Pohorje were owned by Konjic manors. Atlas Slovenije states that Črno jezero is the former Konjiški ribnik (Atlas Slovenije, Mladinska knjiga and Geodetski zavod Slovenije, 1992); this name confirms Melik's assumption. The lake is surrounded by high marshes, dwarf pine and spruce forests. The reflection of dark green in the water gives the impression that the water is black. On the northern side, the Črnava stream, once called Ribniščica, flows out of the lake.

Black Lake

Highlight • Lake

Wonderful place to visit on Pohorje. It's a hidden gem, the only difficulty is the roads to get there are horrible. It takes an hour from Maribor. There is a parking lot and then a pathway to walk about 20 minutes at most to get to the lake. Not many people go so it's like it's your own lake.

Trije kralji

Highlight • Religious Site

The small but very cozy ski area Trije kralji extends on the southern slopes of the 1347 m high Veliki vrh in the Pohorje Mountains. It is mainly visited by school groups, families and mediocre skiers. Arrival is possible from two sides, either from Slovenska Bistrica via Tinje or from Šmartno na Pohorju. Both streets are well cleared and sprinkled in winter.
