Accommodation Observatórium Lomnický štít (page 4 of 12)

A cable car trip to Lomnický štít is a pinnacle adrenaline experience for many visitors to the Tatry. For most of us, it is unimaginable that people come to this place regularly to work here daily. They are the employees of Observatórium Lomnický štít, the highest-located workplace in Slovakia. The observatory is situated at an altitude of 2,632 m above sea level, on the summit of the second-highest peak of Vysoké Tatry. A cable car leads here from Skalnaté pleso. The starting point is Tatranská Lomnica, one of the largest settlements in Vysoké Tatry. Truly fit hikers are also offered an incredible hiking experience here: a climb up Lomničák accompanied by mountain guides.

Observatórium Lomnický štít was established between 1957 and 1962 as a result of a global initiative during the International Geophysical Year. Since that period, it has served for meteorological measurements and observations by Slovenský hydrometeorologický ústav. In 1964, Astronomický ústav SAV also began conducting its research here. The main object of observation for astronomers on Lomnický štít is our largest star, the Sun. The observatory is among the world's rarities, as systematic research into the solar emission lines takes place here. Excursions to this unique workplace of the astronomical institute are possible only during open house days, which are usually held twice a year. During this time, anyone can peek into the premises of our highest-located observatory and, in case of good visibility, observe the starry sky up close.

Lomnický štít is a major attraction for tourists. In addition to a wonderful panoramic view of Malá Studená dolina, the five Spišské plesá tarns, Ľadový štít, Gerlach, Vysoká, Rysy, and Kriváň, you can also enjoy a delicious coffee here in the stylish café Dedo. Have you ever drunk coffee at an altitude of 2,634 m above sea level? They will be happy to prepare one for you on Lomnický štít. A night spent under the starry sky on the summit of Lomničák is undoubtedly a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, the price of such an adventure is unaffordable for most visitors, so they prefer accommodation near Observatórium Lomnický štít. Accommodation in Tatranská Lomnica offers a wide range of guesthouses and apartments, as well as pleasant mountain huts and wooden chalets. Choose the right one for yourself and get a good night's sleep, because every day in the Tatry brings new adventures.

On the way down from Lomnický štít, you will step off the cable car at the picturesque Skalnaté pleso spreading at its foot. Here, in addition to a pleasant walk around the moraine tarn and a beautiful view, you can enjoy a stay with your little ones in the popular Svištia krajinka. Afterward, the cable car will comfortably take you back to Tatranská Lomnica. Do not leave the Tatry just yet, though. Right in Tatranská Lomnica, they have prepared a great ride for you on Bobová dráha Tatrabob. Enjoy the adrenaline under the Tatras' peaks.
