The [[Čierny Hron Railway]] is a [[narrow-gauge railway]] in central [[Slovakia]], established in the first decade of the 20th century and operating primarily as a freight railway for the local logging industry.

The railway became [[Czechoslovakia]]'s most extensive [[forest railway]] network. After its closure in 1982, it received heritage status and was restored during the following decade.
