Scenic Trail with Mountain Views in Furkotská Dolina

Highlight • Trail

The path has a barely noticeable incline and is not as heavily used as other hiking trails around Štrbské Pleso. The path was easy to see. Every now and then you get a view of the valley and the mountains behind it to the south.

A year later, a road was built up from the valley, which was expanded into a road in 1921, which took passengers away from the cog railway that opened in …

August 1, 2025,Von Štrbské Pleso aus durch unberührte Natur geringelt

We started at Štrbskė Pleso and, after a brief examination of this beautiful body of water, quickly headed uphill towards the northwest.
