Best to be there in the morning. Otherwise it is difficult to find a parking space.

The view from there is really fantastic. These colors are terrific. The black one is not far from the entrance. Always straight ahead and you will get there directly.

At this point you can go into the water and refresh yourself. Riding a bike around the Crno Lake is a small challenge and a little knowledge is a prerequisite. S0- S3 Everything included. But watch out for many hikers
