There is probably no tourist in Slovakia who does not know the beautiful lake Štrbské pleso. However, not everyone knows that approximately half a kilometer southeast of it, below the mouth of the Mlynická dolina valley, lies the lake Nové Štrbské pleso. Cadastrally, it falls under the village of Štrba, in the Poprad district. It covers an area of 2 hectares at an altitude of 1,315 m above sea level, with its maximum depth reaching 9.6 m.

However, it is not a natural tarn. It was artificially created in 1905 from the former Štrbské mozgroviska, a silty tarn. The architect Karol Móry is considered its creator. The lake is densely overgrown with peat, which forms small islands on it. These need to be cleaned regularly. However, it is also home to many species of fish that thrive here. When you add all the surrounding trees and amazing views of the majestic Tatra peaks, a perfect spot is born.

The hike to Nové Štrbské pleso can be considered a gentle walk. If you arrive at the Štrbské Pleso railway station, after crossing the tracks of the rack railway, a path will lead you to the tarn. Before you know it, after approximately 5 minutes of walking, you are at the water. If you arrive by car, from the park-and-ride lot at Štrbské pleso, walk under the railway bridge directly to the tarn. From this side, it will take you 10 minutes on foot. It is so close, yet so few people know about it. Bench seating has been built around it for a pleasant rest; looking at the water surface can calm even the most troubled thoughts.

The surroundings probably do not need a special introduction, but there is always someone who has not yet discovered the beauty of the Vysoké Tatry. Book accommodation near Nové Štrbské pleso, for example on the page accommodation Štrbské Pleso, and come explore! Take a hiking trail to Popradské pleso, to the Skok waterfall, or to Kriváň. Take the cable car to Predné Solisko or the tram to Starý Smokovec, and from there to Hrebienok, to Tricklandia, or to Tatranský ľadový dóm Hrebienok. And that is just a small sample. Bring your family, children, and friends along, and experience for yourself what this beautiful piece of Slovakia has to offer.

Do you tackle demanding Tatra terrain like an agile squirrel? Now you have the opportunity to test your skill directly in the Tatras. Your trainer for challenging mountain terrain will be the fun Veveričí lanový park. This adrenaline attraction is located in the foothills of the Vysoké Tatry mountains, in the village of Štrbské Pleso, a local part of the village of Štrba. The magnificent view of the rocky peaks of our high mountains will surely serve as motivation when overcoming demanding rope obstacles.

In Veveričí park, not only adult adrenaline lovers will find plenty to enjoy, but also little "squirrels", for whom a children's rope course is prepared. The rope climbing frames are therefore popular not only with adrenaline enthusiasts and athletes, but also with families with children. For brave climbers, two climbing courses are prepared. The course for adults consists of 22 rope obstacles placed among the trees at a height of approximately 5 meters above the ground. You will complete the 280-meter-long obstacle course in approximately 45 minutes.

The course with the apt name "Mini" is suitable for children from three years old. The maximum height of a little adventurer, who must overcome 10 obstacles during their journey, is 140 cm. However, parents do not need to worry about their little squirrels. Before entering the adrenaline path, they will receive a protective helmet, and a safety harness/rope belay is a matter of course. So go forth without worries to meet new experiences!

Whether you manage to overcome the rope obstacles with the agility of a squirrel or prefer to watch from the safety of solid ground beneath your feet, the Tatras will welcome you with open arms. A pleasant calming experience after adrenaline adventures will surely be a walk around the popular lake Štrbské pleso. Or are you in the mood for mountain hiking? Numerous marked hiking trails of various difficulty levels lead from Štrbské Pleso. Take an easy path to the picturesque Popradské pleso or choose a more demanding route to the roaring Vodopád Skok.

Do you love the Vysoké Tatry mountains and enjoy spending your free time walking in the fresh air? Then put on your walking shoes and set off with us on the Náučný chodník Štrbské pleso educational trail. Bring your little ones along and discover together the history, fauna, and flora of this moraine lake. Did you know that the region in which Štrbské pleso lies was once called Štrbský chotár?

This highest-situated Tatras settlement (1,346 m a.s.l.) is located in the Národný park Vysoké Tatry (High Tatras National Park) and is a local part of the village of Štrba. 5 km long educational trail with 40 wooden information panels is open to tourists throughout the whole year. Even your youngest in a stroller or mobility-impaired persons in a wheelchair can handle the excursion along the paved stony path. Prepare for a 2.5-hour walk during which you will learn something about historical sights, spa history, as well as sports events at Štrbské Pleso.

Our hike begins in front of the railway station, which is the final stop of the Tatras electric railway and cog railway. Going up the stairs past Hotel Toliar, we find ourselves at Hotel Kempinski. We turn left and follow the asphalt road to a viewpoint from which we can already see our most visited Tatras lake from a distance. Water does not flow out of it anywhere, nor does any flow into it. It fills through underground springs from a depth of more than 12 meters. Thanks to its location, the surface of the lake is frozen for an average of 155 days a year. Other points of interest certainly include the ski jumping hill that has stood here since 1966. However, this massive structure has not been used for active sports for many years. In 1925, the European Ice Hockey Championships were held on the frozen surface of the lake.

The dark blue crystal-clear water in the lake is home to many small aquatic animals and fish. The most numerous fish species found here include chub, northern pike, European perch, and roach. A notable feature is the presence of the vendace fish (Coregonus maraena / sih maréna). This is most likely the last place in the world where this fish still occurs. Fishermen from the Třeboňsko region (Czech Republic) brought the vendace here in 1929. Their current number can be counted on the fingers of two hands. Despite the efforts of locals for artificial breeding, this fish is doomed to extinction.

Our trip continues to another viewpoint, offering an unprecedented view of the Podtatranská kotlina basin and the Nízke Tatry mountains. We proceed along a slightly steep slope from which we can see Cesta slobody. From Hotel Solisko, we continue around the lake, and after a few meters, we turn onto a narrow peninsula where we find the monument to the Slovenské národné povstanie (Slovak National Uprising). Right before it, we can stop at the memorial dedicated to our poet Maša Haľamová. On the northeastern shore, we turn onto the path that leads to Hotel Patria. If we turn left, we reach Hotel Fis, from where we can see all the way to Vodopád Skok waterfall, located in Mlynická dolina. At the main intersection, we turn left onto a small path leading to Nové Štrbské pleso (1,315 m a.s.l.). We will return to our destination, Štrbské pleso, along the path leading along the northern shore of the lake. If you have worked up an appetite after this easy hike, visit one of the hotel restaurants and treat yourself to a great gastronomic experience.

Plan your active holiday in Vysoké Tatry. But do not spend unnecessarily big money on expensive hotels. Comfortable yet affordable accommodation near Náučný chodník Štrbské Pleso can be found on our page cheap accommodation Štrbské Pleso.

The Štrbské pleso lake, hidden in the Vysoké Tatry mountains, is among the most famous Slovak tarns. It was named after the village of Štrba, as it lies within its cadastral territory. Thanks to its good accessibility and well-developed infrastructure, it is attractive to families with children, hikers, cyclists, and active seniors.

The second largest tarn in Slovakia lies at an altitude of 1,346.6 m above sea level, covering an area of almost 20 hectares and reaching an impressive depth of up to 26 meters. Due to its unique nature and fresh mountain air, the tarn has become a popular place for relaxation. Recreational boating on the tarn began as early as the 19th century, and you can try this attraction for yourself to this day.

Riding the cog railway from Štrbské Pleso to the village of Tatranská Štrba is undoubtedly an experience as well. The lake itself is the starting point for many hiking trails, while a short walk will lead you to Symbolický cintorín or Popradské pleso. Families with children and seniors alike will enjoy a walk along Náučný chodník Štrbské Pleso, which offers interesting information about the history of the village as well as the surrounding flora and fauna. Visitors of all ages will have a great time in the nearby Fun Park Štrbské pleso. Try snowtubing, snowrafting, snowball, or authentic Tatras curling.

More seasoned hikers will enjoy a hike to Veľké Hincovo pleso or Batizovské pleso.

A 19 km long cycle route is established from the village of Štrbské Pleso, leading alongside the Štrbské pleso lake all the way to the Popradské pleso tram stop.

Štrbské pleso offers a truly diverse range of experiences and attractions, whether through hiking, relaxing in nature, nearby skiing opportunities, or exploring surrounding villages and their history.

Have you always dreamed of skiing with a view of the beautiful and majestic Vysoké Tatry? Most certainly. If you want to indulge in such a divine view while enjoying winter fun in the snow, you have several options. In the foothills of the Tatras, there are diverse ski resorts offering various services. One of the most famous is Snowpark Lučivná.

The village of Lučivná is known primarily for its spa. You can find it just a short distance from the town of Svit, right below the peaks of Vysoké Tatry. This charming village in the Tatras region, with its fairy-tale manor house, is also popular among skiers. The ski resort Snowpark Lučivná is characterized by a homely atmosphere and a family-friendly approach. It is by no means one of the largest resorts, but perhaps that is precisely why you will feel most comfortable here.

You will literally have the entire resort in the palm of your hand. It consists of 4 ski lifts, one of which is designated for children. All the slopes in the resort are intermediate, suitable for a wide range of skiers. Next to the shortest lift, there is a blue-marked slope where not only children but also adults learn to ski.

The total length of the slopes in the resort does not even reach 2 km, with the longest descent measuring just over 600 meters. However, this is not a drawback. Since there are quite a few lifts here, you won't stand in line for long minutes, but can ski to your heart's content all day long. You might end up skiing even more here than in some more famous ski resort. The icing on the cake is the view from the highest point of the resort at an altitude of 856 meters above sea level, looking directly at Vysoké Tatry.

In this cozy and friendly ski resort, you will find not only a snack bar but also a pleasant restaurant offering various regional Tatras specialties. Naturally, a ski equipment rental is available, but there is also something extra prepared for you. You will be able to try snowmobiling, snow tubing, or sliding down the snowy slope on an inflatable ring.

Even a smaller ski resort like the one in Lučivná can provide night skiing. There is nothing better than night skiing, so you will certainly be pleased with the option of private night skiing as well. The next day, you can try cross-country skiing. Lučivná offers several kilometers of groomed cross-country trails in a beautiful environment.

The ski resort offers excellent skiing at affordable skipass prices. For the price of a one-day ticket at a large resort, you can ski in Lučivná for an entire weekend and still have enough left over for a delicious dinner. You will be able to choose accommodation from a varied selection of various private rentals, guesthouses, and chalets, whether in the village itself or in the immediate surroundings. Either way, you will be just a short distance from the slopes and are guaranteed to enjoy a wonderful skiing trip.

Would you like to experience quality skiing with a view of the Vysoké Tatry, but on a budget? Do you think these two things do not go together? Think again! You can have both, just a stone's throw from our highest mountain range. All you have to do is head to Lopušná dolina.

Where can you find it? Near the town of Svit. From there, it is only a short distance to the slope, approximately 3 km. From there to the better-known Poprad, it is only 11 km, and the Vysoké Tatry are equally distant. You do not need anything more for great skiing.

Who is the resort intended for? For those of you who do not like to compromise. For skiers who want to ski with the whole family on a perfectly groomed slope and for reasonable money. You will find all of this in Lopušná dolina.

It is divided into two parts, SKICHEM and SKI Tatry. Both are interconnected, so you will be able to ski on all slopes. The SKICHEM part is better known, and you will find it slightly closer. At first glance, the main slope designed for intermediate skiers will catch your eye. Absolute beginners are also taken into account, with a ski lift in the lower part of the resort designated for them. In total, up to 5 ski lifts will take care of you, and approximately 2 km of slopes are available.

Do you love winter, but prefer a snowboard instead of skis? In that case, you are in the right place in Lopušná dolina. SKICHEM offers a slope designated exclusively for snowboarders, who will also appreciate various obstacles that are guaranteed to boost the adrenaline.

The ski resort lies at an altitude of 777 to 916 meters above sea level. It is not exactly the highest, but thanks to the cold climate, Lopušná dolina has snow to spare. Nevertheless, you will also find an artificial snowmaking system here, which should be a standard nowadays. The presence of artificial lighting will please you, and passionate skiers will certainly continue skiing even after dark.

If you want to try cross-country skiing, you can start right in Lopušná dolina. There are groomed trails that pass through forests and meadows with a beautiful view of the entire Vysoké Tatry. A mountain lover could not wish for anything better.

And what to do after skiing? The options are diverse; we highlight AquaCity in Poprad, where you can perfectly relax in warm thermal water even during winter. Or you can take a trip to Lomnický štít, which guarantees an unforgettable experience for a lifetime.

There are many cottages in the surroundings of Lopušná dolina that will provide you with pleasant accommodation during your skiing trip. It is also possible to stay in a guesthouse right below the slope, or in private accommodations and apartments in the nearby town of Svit.
