Activities and surroundings

of Tatranská Štrba

One of the main attractions of the High Tatras is its rack railway, or simply “Rackie”. It starts in Tatranská Štrba, goes through Šrtbské pleso and continues all the way through the foot of the High Tatras to Starý Smokovec, Tatranský Lomnica and Poprad. On its journey, it has to overcome the altitude of about 670 metres. This journey is even more interesting thanks to the view of the Tatras peaks one can see and diverse Tatras nature it shows.

Tatras Attractions

Another attraction is the funicular that starts in Starý Smokovec and ends at Hrebienok. On its journey, it overcomes 255 m above sea level in just 7 minutes. You can go the same track on foot which might take you about 40 minutes. In winter, you can sleigh down the sleighing slope copying the funicular track with some additional curves for more fun. Another attraction of the High Tatras are its aerial lifts. The lift moving between Štrbské pleso and Solisko offers the view of the Patria and Solisko peaks and of the Mlynická dolina and Furkotská dolina valleys. From a cable car moving between Tatranská Lomnica and Skalnaté pleso one can see the entire Poprad Basin, a part of the Low and Belianske Tatras and the Lomnický, Kežmarský and Slavkovský peaks. You can then take a cable car to get from Skalnaté pleso to Lomnický štít and to enjoy the view over the High Tatras peaks and valleys from the second highest point in Slovakia.

Observation Tower

The observation tower at Štrbské pleso is another new attraction of that area and offers an interesting view of the first High Tatras settlement built by Jozef Szentivány in the 19th century.

The Monte Móry Lookout situated on a hill above Nové Štrbské pleso is a historical site built in 1905. There is a café in the lookout which itself offers a spectacular view of the Tratras peaks, Poprad Basin, the Low Tatras and Štrbské pleso.

Tree Top Walk

A very interesting and unusual experience is the Tree Top Walk in Bachledová dolina which is about 47 km from our resort. It is a family tourist attraction where people walk high above the ground on a wooden footbridge above the forest. There you can experience an amazing view over the mountains of the Pieniny National Park and Špišská Magura. It has also a 32 m high tower.
