Lake in High Tatras

Strbske Pleso

Strbske Pleso is a glacial mountain lake at 1,346 meters in the High Tatras, Slovakia’s premier mountain destination. Free to walk around the lake. The surrounding peaks reach 2,655 meters and the hiking trails are free. The electric railway from Poprad (cheap) takes visitors up to the lake in 45 minutes. Budget travelers take the train, walk the lake circuit, hike a trail toward the peaks, and get Alpine scenery at a fraction of what the Swiss or Austrian Alps cost.
