ACCOMPANYING EVENT

Cableway trip to Skalnate pleso
Skalnaté pleso (tarn) is one of the most popular tourist destinations in High Tatras and a good starting point for several hiking trips. A 4-person cable car operates from the lower station in Tatranská Lomnica (903 m above sea level) to mid-station Štart and from there a modern 15-person cable car continues to Skalnaté Pleso (1,751 m above sea level). The area around the tarn is tailor-made for pleasant walks or hiking trips. There is an astronomical and meteorological observatory near Skalnaté pleso at the altitude of 1,786 metres. The observatory was established in 1943, when the first observations were made here. Relax and bag some rays at one of the highest located restaurants in the High Tatras – at the Panorama Restaurant Skalnaté pleso, which has a really fitting name. The sunny terrace offers beautiful panoramic views of surrounding rock peaks and tourist trails in the summer and the steepest ski slopes in Slovakia - Lomnické sedlo in the winter. (Source)
