Zelené Pleso

Zelené pleso

An emerald lake in the cirque on the north side of Lomnický štít, ringed by five high peaks; the lakeside hut is one of the most beautiful overnight stops in the Tatras.

Zelené Pleso lies at 1,545 m, upstream in the Biela Voda valley. Its water is green from algae and minerals, with the sheer walls of Lomnický štít, Kežmarský štít and Jahňací štít behind it. The usual approach is from the Tatranská Lomnica or Biela Voda car parks, about 2.5 hours on foot, or you can come from Skalnaté Pleso via the Veľká Svišťovka ridge. The Chata pri Zelenom plese by the lake offers food and lodging, making it suitable for a two-day trip.
