Day 1: Transfer from Bratislava to Tatra mountains. Walking around Štrbské pleso mountain lake

On the first day we will head straight to the High Tatras mountains where we will arrive in the afternoon. We will take a walk around the lake and take a rest before next day´s hike.

It is the second-largest glacial lake on the Slovak side of the High Tatras, with maximum depth 20 metres (66 ft).

You can go also to the lake Jamské pleso. In this hike, you will come to Jamské pleso from Štrbské pleso by the red marked tourist route leading up to the peak Kriváň.
