Why GLERI chose this walk

A mountain-lake hike beginning right by the railway.

A moment to look forward to
Velické pleso beside Sliezsky dom after the forest ascent.
Who it suits
For a car-free Tatra day: 9 km out and back on the green trail from Tatranská Polianka.
What to consider
The paved road is longer than this trail. Check your return train and mountain conditions before setting out.
