History

Summarize
Perspective

Crni Lug was and is a common starting point for the ascent of Veliki Risnjak. Around the turn of the century, two local inns competed for alpinists. That of Mije Štimac was noted to be more expensive than that of Mate Tijan.[3]

Kingdom of Yugoslavia

A 22 December 1939 decision as part of agrarian reforms by Ban Šubašić to confiscate the local forest property of the Thurn and Taxis family, Kálmán Ghyczy and Nikola Petrović resulted in a legal dispute known as the Thurn and Taxis Affair, in part because of the relative status of the family and in part because of the proximity to the Italian border.[4][5]

Recent

Crni Lug was hit by the 2014 Dinaric ice storm. From 31 January to 2 February, while S and SW geostrophic wind dominated,[6] freezing rain fell on Gorski Kotar, glazing the entire region. It wrecked roofs, power lines an forests, causing power loss for about 14,000 households households in Gorski Kotar, or about 80% of its population. It took about 10 days to restore essential infrastructure to the region, and within months electricity was back in most of its former range, but at a cost of about 84.4 million HRK to HEP. At the time it was the largest peacetime damage since its Secession from Yugoslavia, even without counting the forestry losses. The Šumarija Crni Lug lost 48% of its wood mass.[7] Clearing blocked forestry roads and forest paths would take years, and thanks to the declining population some were never cleared.[8]

On 12 December 2017, a severe wind hit the area, blocking traffic along the Ž5032 road.[9]
