Popradské Pleso
Popradské pleso
A high mountain lake in the Mengusovská Valley, where lakeside huts serve hot soup and beer. It is the most popular half-day hiking destination from Štrbské Pleso.
Popradské pleso sits at 1,494 m, surrounded by steep granite peaks. The most common approach is to climb about 1 hour along the red or blue trail from the Popradské pleso stop on the TEŽ, or walk about 1.5 hours from Štrbské Pleso via the Magistrála trail. On the way back you can loop by the symbolic cemetery. The Chata pri Popradskom plese on the shore serves meals and offers overnight stays. Continuing upward leads to Veľké Hincovo pleso or Rysy peak. The trails are free, with no entry fee, but mountain weather changes quickly, so bring a windproof jacket.
Opening hours
Open all day (mountain hut about 7:00 AM–10:00 PM)
