Crni Vrh (Crni Vrh)
Crni vrh (Црни врх, Vârful Negru) is a mountain in eastern Serbia, between towns of Bor and Žagubica. Its eponymous highest peak has an elevation of 1043 m above sea level. It is a minor winter resort, and it 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 The main ski track is 1100 m long and has height span of 260 m.
Hotel complex "Hyatt hotel Jelen" is being built by a consortium of Serbian public companies, however the works were aborted during the NATO bombing and have never been restored. In 2010, talks were held with an unnamed Russian company about overtaking of the site. Currently, there is a mountaineering home near the track, with 30 beds.
Crni vrh has good road infrastructure, because it lies near the magistral road Bor-Žagubica.
At the foothills a dam was built in 1953, creating an artificial lake (Bor Lake, Borsko jezero). Although it was originally planned to supply the nearby mine, its pure waters proved excellent for swimming for small-scale tourism. On the lake, there is hotel "Jezero" and an auto camp.
The climate is humid continental (Köppen climate classification: Dfb).

Continuously inhabited since the Paleolithic Age, the territory of modern-day Serbia faced Slavic migrations in the 6th century, establishing several regional states in the early Middle Ages at times recognised as tributaries to the Byzantine, Frankish and Hungarian kingdoms. The Serbian Kingdom obtained recognition by the Holy See and Constantinople in 1217, reaching its territorial apex in 1346 as the Serbian Empire. By the mid-16th century, the Ottomans annexed the entirety of modern-day Serbia; their rule was at times interrupted by the Habsburg Empire, which began expanding towards Central Serbia from the end of the 17th century while maintaining a foothold in Vojvodina. In the early 19th century, the Serbian Revolution established the nation-state as the region's first constitutional monarchy, which subsequently expanded its territory. Following casualties in World War I, and the subsequent unification of the former Habsburg crownland of Vojvodina with Serbia, the country co-founded Yugoslavia with other South Slavic nations, which would exist in various political formations until the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. During the breakup of Yugoslavia, Serbia formed a union with Montenegro, which was peacefully dissolved in 2006, restoring Serbia's independence as a sovereign state for the first time since 1918. In 2008, representatives of the Assembly of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence, with mixed responses from the international community while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
