If you are not afraid of a more demanding hike and like to learn something along the way, we will direct you to Ždiar and from there to Monkova dolina, where you can walk an interesting educational trail.

The 5 km long Monkova dolina is situated in the northern part of Belianske Tatry. At the head of this glacier-origin valley rise the peaks Hlúpy and Ždiarska vidla. The valley was named after the once widespread Ždiar surname Monka, although it is not known what relationship the Monka family had to it, whether they were the owners or leased it.

An educational trail leads through Monkova dolina, which is very beautiful, but at the same time demanding. On the more than 8 km long route with 6 stops, you need to expect a steep climb and a large elevation gain (945 m).

Along the way, views await you not only of Belianske Tatry, but from Široké sedlo also of Vysoké Tatry. In addition to views of blooming meadows, you might also get the chance to spot chamois. The trail is accessible only from mid-June to the end of October. At the beginning of the route at the mouth of Monkova dolina, an entrance fee must be paid.

Beneath this mysterious name hides a tourist educational trail in the Belianske Tatry mountains.

This section of the trail is also accessible to wheelchair users and families with strollers. The most interesting peak in this part of the Belianske Tatry is Muráň, which entered history through the breeding of ibexes, which Prince Hohenlohe once raised there.

During the walk, you will come across a real curiosity: a spring gushing out of the ground. It is a very abundant water source that spews out approximately 150 liters of water per second. The trail continues into the Bránka gorge, which was created by the erosive action of the Meďodolský potok stream and rainfall activity after the retreat of glaciers. The total length of the gorge is 185 m. At the spot where the dense forest ends, you can relax at the Studnička resting place, where wooden statues of a small bear cub and its mother bear are placed. These were created by the hands of a skilled folk woodcarver from the nearby village of Ždiar. After a short break, you will find yourself on a trail where the forest is sparser, and from a distance, a view of Kopské sedlo will open up before you. In the meadow, you can admire rare flora, such as Rosebay Willowherb, Willow Gentian, or Jacquin's Ragwort. Blueberries and lingonberries grow along the trail. Above the upper timberline, you have the opportunity to discover other alpine plants, such as Spring Gentian or Evergreen Saxifrage.
