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.

If you are coming from Trakoščan, be prepared for a steep climb, but the view is worth it.

It is open by appointment. A convenient place for barbecuing and socializing.
