[2] Črna Vas is a ribbon village south of the Ljubljanica River along the road from Ljubljana to Podpeč.

The Iška River cuts north through the territory of the settlement west of the main population center.

[3]: 405 The Črna Vas area was inhabited in prehistoric times; traps and a dugout made by pile dwellers were found at the Kozler property.

The houses were traditionally built of wood and thatched with straw or roofed with peat because stone houses would have been too heavy for the bearing capacity of the soft marsh soil and it was difficult to transport bricks to the area from far away using the poor roads.

[4] Since August 2021, it has been inscribed as part of Plečnik's legacy on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
