A hotel complex, Hyatt hotel Jelen, was being built by a consortium of Serbian public companies, however the work was halted during the NATO bombing. 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, Serbian: 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.
