Črnomelj, a town known for "grinding black," as its name suggests, earned its name from a miller who, instead of white flour, ground black flour for a disguised fairy and was subsequently punished. However, Črnomelj is not special only because of its name but also for its town layout, which forms a star shape, connecting roads from Ljubljana, Novo Mesto, Zagreb, and Rijeka. With 3000 years of history on a natural peninsula between the Lahinja and Dobličica rivers, Črnomelj witnessed the creation of a river island during the time of Turkish invasions, remaining resilient despite sieges. The tourist information center will gladly invite you for a walk around the town, organize a creative workshop with Bela Krajina's egg-painting or linen craftsmen, recommend a good lunch, and inform you about events in the Bela Krajina region.
