Crni vrh (Serbian: Црни врх, Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Vârful Negru) is a mountain in eastern Serbia, between towns of Bor and Žagubica. Its eponymous highest peak has an elevation of 10430NaN0 above sea level. It is a minor winter resort, and has several ski tracks, although the infrastructure is in bad shape. However, in 2009 the municipality of Bor invested in reconstruction of the ski lift[1] The main ski track is 1,100 m long and has height span of 260 m.[1]
A hotel complex, Hyatt hotel Jelen, was being built by a consortium of Serbian public companies, however the work was halted during the NATO bombing. In 2010, talks were held with an unnamed Russian company about overtaking of the site.[2] Currently, there is a mountaineering home near the track, with 30 beds.[1]
Crni vrh has good road infrastructure, because it lies near the magistral road Bor-Žagubica.[1]
At the foothills a dam was built in 1953, creating an artificial lake (Bor Lake, Serbian: Borsko jezero). Although it was originally planned to supply the nearby mine, its pure waters proved excellent for swimming for small-scale tourism.[3] On the lake, there is hotel "Jezero" and an auto camp.
The climate is humid continental (Köppen climate classification: Dfb).
