Čierna Lehota: Hotel and Marked Trails to Stolica and Kohút

Čierna Lehota lies at the end of the Štítnica Valley below Stolica, which rises to 1,476 m. From Čierna Lehota, a blue-marked trail leads to the two highest peaks of the Slovak Ore Mountains: Stolica (1,476 m) and Kohút (1,409 m). Kohút, which rises to 1,409 m, dominates the valley in the background and marks the end of the municipality of Čierna Lehota and the entire valley.

In the Stolica protected area, Zone A includes plots in the cadastral area of ÄŒierna Lehota. It runs along the boundary of the cadastral area to Kohút (1,409 m) and onward to Stolica (1,476 m). Carpathian stonecrop, an endemic species of the Carpathians, grows on Kohút. Forests cover approximately 88 % of the Muránska planina–Stolica protected area, which also includes ÄŒierna Lehota. Wolves, brown bears and Eurasian lynx occur regularly in the Stolica Natura 2000 site.

The cadastral area of Čierna Lehota is also part of the Muránska planina–Stolica protected area; hiking, cycling, caving, climbing and hang gliding are listed as recreational activities in the area. The proximity of the Slovak Karst, Slovak Paradise and Muránska planina national parks creates opportunities for hiking and cycling from Čierna Lehota.

The trail to the Pomník SNP monument leads to Čierna Lehota, where, before the end of the village, it joins a blue-marked hiking trail. The municipality’s annual cultural and social events include an ascent of Stolica.
