    Mountaineering

    Stunning beauty. This pond has been admired by Tatra tourists since the 19th century. The name "black" comes from the color of the water here - from the shadow cast by the mountain peaks and by the cyanobacteria covering the local boulders.

    Mountaineering

    although only 1500m high, we still had to cross snow fields.

    Well, it's very crowded here, at least on Saturdays.
