Črno jezero - Black Lake - Osankarica
Black Lake is really black! The water is crystal clear, but organic waste of plants and animals is accumulated at the bottom of the lake and creates a thick layer of dark silt that gives the lake a characteristic color. It is situated in a swampy area in the middle of the Pohorje forest and is a pleasant excursion point to which a lovely path leads from Dom na Osankarici. The lake area is protected as a natural monument.

Viltus Palace
On a gentle hill at the foot of Tičnica (460 meters) along the Maribor-Dravograd road in Spodnji Slemen, there is a magnificent building of the Viltuš caste from the beginning of the 17th century, which is one of our most beautiful and largest castles. Today, the mansion is abandoned and often a target of hooliganism. The castle also has a park whose official name is Spodnji Slemen - the Park of Viltuš Castle. The park is designed in landscape style, richly planted with exotic tree species. Part of the garden is also a lake. Ghosts: The Viltus Castle is supposed to become a target of ghosts after the WWII when its owners were chased away. The castle is supposed to be haunted even today, when it is still abandoned, and that is why it is also very rapidly decaying.
