Štrbské Pleso
Štrbské pleso
A glacial lake and resort at 1,346 m in the High Tatras. Its gentle loop trail is backed by snowy peaks, making it the classic entry point to the range.
Štrbské Pleso is the second-largest glacial lake in Slovakia, with a century-old grand hotel, a ski jump tower and resorts on its shore. The lakeside loop is about 2 km and takes 40 minutes to walk. In summer you can rent pedal boats, and in winter it is an international ski venue. It is also the starting point for hikes to Popradské pleso, Skok Waterfall and Rysy peak. Direct access from Poprad or Starý Smokovec is by the Tatra Electric Railway (TEŽ), and a rack railway connects to the village of Štrbské Pleso.
