Crni Lug, Delnice

Crni Lug is a small mountain settlement in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, surrounded by dense forest and hilly terrain. The community consists of a handful of scattered houses that adapt to the natural landscape.

The settlement developed as part of the mountain communities of the region, based on forestry and farming practices. Over time, it became an established part of Delnice and evolved with the broader development of the area.

The community maintains a strong connection to the forest and mountain traditions that shape daily life in this isolated settlement. Residents practice customs tied to their woodland surroundings, making these traditions visible in how they live.

The settlement is accessible via the D32 highway, which connects it to main transportation routes in the region. Access requires a vehicle, as the location is reached through rural forest roads where driving takes longer than on flat terrain.

The name 'Crni Lug' translates to 'Black Grove', referring to the dark, dense forests that surround the village. This naming reflects how deeply the forest has been woven into the place's identity since its founding.
