Surrounded by the beautiful alpine valleys of Topla, Koprivna, and Bistra, it offers excellent opportunities and serves as an ideal starting point for all types of sports enthusiasts.

To avoid walking back down to the valley, Črna na Koroškem also offers an adrenaline-pumping zipline—at 1,263.5 m, it is one of the longest in Europe.
