Največje naravno bogastvo Mežakle predstavlja gozd. Prevladuje slovenski alpski bukov gozd, v podrasti pa je največ trilistne vetrnice (združba Anemono triofilae–Fagetum). V preteklosti so za potrebe železarstva in oglarjenja bukev posekali, zato se je na drugotno zakisanih tleh razvil smrekov gozd z golim lepenom (združba Adenstylo glabrae–Piceetum).
V času narodnoosvobodilnega boja (1941–1945) so na Mežakli potekali številni boji med nemškim okupatorjem in partizani. Po različnih sabotažnih akcijah partizanov v dolini je nemška vojska izvajala povračilne ukrepe. Med drugim so septembra 1941 požgali Luckmanovo kočo, ki je stala na območju Zakopov. Ostanke desk in ogrodja požgane koče so partizani decembra 1942 uporabili pri izgradnji bolnice – skromnega zavetišča nedaleč stran, ki je služilo oskrbi ranjencev. Na Zakopih je v spomin na te dogodke ohranjeno spominsko obeležje na naravni skali.

Mežakla’s greatest treasure is its forests. The Slovenian alpine beech forest prevails, and the undergrowth is covered by three-leaved anemone (Anemono trifoliae–Fagetum). In the past beech trees were felled for the needs of the ironworks and charcoal burning, which is why a secondary spruce forest developed on the acidic soil (Adenstylo glabrae–Piceetum).
During the national liberation movement (1941-1945) several armed fights took place in Mežakla between the German occupiers and the partisans. Following various acts of sabotage by the partisans in the valley, the German army took retaliatory measures. In September 1941, they burned down Luckmanova koča (Luckman’s hut), which was located in the Zakopi area. Wooden remains and the frame of the burned down hut were used by the partisans in December 1942 to build a hospital - a modest shelter nearby that was used to treat the wounded. A memorial on a natural rock can be found in Zakopi to commemorate these events.

Pomembno vlogo pri upravljanju z gozdnim bogastvom Mežakle in bližnjimi fužinami je v zadnji tretjini 19. stoletja odigrala Kranjska industrijska družba. V tem času je na Mežakli delovalo nekaj kopišč. Fotografija prikazuje spravilo oglja z Mežakle na samotežnih saneh (začetek 20. stoletja). Vir: fototeka Gornjesavskega muzeja Jesenice.
In the last third of the 19th Century, Kranjska industrijska družba played an important role in managing the forests of Mežakla and the ironworks in its vicinity. A few charcoal piles were operated during this time in Mežakla. The photo shows men transporting the charcoal on sledges (early 20th Century).

Na Zakopih je nekoč stala Luckmanova koča, ki jo je nemški okupator septembra 1941 med napadom na tu utaborjeni vod Jeseniške čete požgal. Partizan Slavko Oman (na fotografiji), rojen 28. 9. 1911 na Jesenicah, je padel v tem napadu kot tretja žrtev na Mežakli in prva na Zakopih. Vir: fototeka Gornjesavskega muzeja Jesenice.
Luckmanova koča (Luckman’s hut) once stood in Zakopi, but was burned down by the German occupiers in September 1941 during their assault on a platoon of the Jesenice squad. Partisan Slavko Oman (pictured), born 28.9.1911 in Jesenice, was killed in this assault, becoming the third victim in Mežakla and the first in Zakopi.
