Access to the Drava river is possible from the parking lot behind the Sports Park, where you can find a path towards the Drava river. Directly along the Drava river there are the pier and the pontoon. You can have a picnic along the Drava river - benches and barbecues are awaiting you.

Permanent benchmark
Along the railway line Ruše-Fala, at the milestone 15.3, in the stable gneiss wall, there is a permanent benchmark with a Latin inscription. Of all the benchmarks in the former Austria-Hungary, only this one was preserved in the territory of Slovenia. It is still used today to determine land movements over a longer period of time (over 100 years) and to determine precise altitudes. The permanent benchmark in the Smolnik settlement in the Municipality of Ruše is the starting point of the height surveying network in the Republic of Slovenia. Due to its location right next to the railway line, the Smolnik benchmark is probably less known and is poorly promoted as a tourist facility, despite its huge historical value.

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.
