The Ozubnicová železnica or if you prefer zubačka, is one of the most famous symbols of the Vysoké Tatry. An important means of transport, it also represents a very popular attraction. It runs on the Štrba – Štrbské Pleso route and back. Thus, it provides an ecological, low-emission, and, thanks to the recent reconstruction, also comfortable connection between the valley and the mountains. The final station at Štrbské Pleso is the highest-lying railway station in Slovakia. Modern trains with hybrid drive will thus take you directly to the starting point of your trips and hikes to discover the beauties of the Slovak high mountains.

Legendary zubačkas have been running on the cog railway line since 1970. The beginnings of operation are connected with the World Nordic Ski Championships, which were to take place right at Štrbské Pleso. Within two years, a 4.78 km long track was built and put into operation here. Operation was suspended in July 2020 due to extensive reconstruction. A complete replacement of the original track, its connection to the TEŽ line, and the replacement of vehicles were carried out. The original rolling stock was replaced by hybrid trains that can run both on the cog railway and on standard railway tracks. Operation was restarted in February 2022.

All the way to Štrbské Pleso, you will currently be carried by 5 new vehicles, named after lesser-known Tatra peaks. Bradavica, Kostolík, Stredohrot, Ganek, and Vysoká operate here. All units reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h and offer 91 seats. The advantage is barrier-free access, 2 wheelchair spaces in each train, a section for bicycles and baby strollers. The equipment of the vehicles also includes a modern safety, information, and camera system. Passenger comfort is enhanced by air conditioning, electrical sockets, and Wi-Fi internet access.

The zubačka will comfortably transport you to the greatest highlights and attractions of the Vysoké Tatry. From the tourist-beloved Štrbské Pleso, you can set off for a walk to the Štrbské pleso tarn, a hike to the sought-after Popradské pleso tarn, or to the impressive Skok waterfall.

Opportunities for enjoying holiday moments here are at least as varied as the accommodation options near the Bobová dráha v Bachledovej doline bobsled coaster. Choose from family-run guesthouses or popular cottages and chalets and enjoy an unforgettable adventure and relaxation in the Tatras. Accommodation in Ždiar and the immediate surrounding area will certainly not disappoint you.

Experience the magic of nature, views of the majestic Belianske Tatry mountains, and a multitude of attractions for young and old at Bachledka Ski & Sun – a year-round mountain resort that is popular with families, active tourists, seniors, and organized groups alike. A visit to Bachledka begins in the pleasant facilities at the lower cable car station, where you are welcomed by a well-maintained, barrier-free pedestrian zone with an InfoCenter, ticket offices, a sports shop, a cozy café, and a souvenir shop. The modern 10-seater Gondola Bachledka cable car will comfortably take you up to the ridge of the Spišská Magura mountains in 7 minutes, directly into the heart of the mountain resort. Here, a world of peace, natural beauty, and a multitude of activities opens up before you, making Bachledka an ideal place for a trip during any season of the year.

Kráľovstvo lesa (Forest Kingdom) and new adventures for children

Families with children will also find their own enjoyment in the Kráľovstvo lesa Bachledka – an extensive natural children's zone full of interactive attractions and play elements. A novelty for 2025 is the newly opened observation tower directly in the playground area. On an area of almost 5,000 m², children and parents can try out a giant ram, a multi-level rope park, a mega-trampoline, or the fun Pokuston attraction. Together, more than twenty adventure elements await you here, combining movement, entertainment, and time spent in nature.

Chodník korunami stromov (Treetop Walk) and new views

We recommend combining your visit to Kráľovstvo lesa with one of Bachledka's main attractions. It is the year-round open and fully barrier-free Chodník korunami stromov. It offers an unforgettable walk at height with panoramic views, educational stops, and an adrenaline-pumping dry slide that is 67 meters long. At the top of the 32-meter-high observation tower, a walking net awaits you for an even more intense experience from the height.

Visitor information

Most attractions are ideally adapted for children accompanied by adults, but the varied offer of activities guarantees a unique experience for young and old alike.

Thanks to well-maintained paths and a modern cable car, you can get around here without any problems, even with a stroller or in a wheelchair, so you can enjoy your trip without unnecessary worries.
