Description
Your day starts in Bachledova Valley, where you will ascend to the Spišská Magura ridge to experience the Bachledka Treetop Walk. This elevated wooden pathway rises 24 meters above the forest floor and winds through ancient pine trees.
At the walk's summit, a 32-meter observation tower offers expansive mountain views. For the adventurous, the adrenaline net—a transparent mesh platform—allows you to look directly down from the tower's top. Along the route, interactive displays provide information about local flora and fauna.
Afterwards, you will travel to Štrbské Pleso, a glacial lake situated at 1,346 meters elevation. Take a leisurely walk around the lake, framed by the peaks of Solisko and Patria. Notable sights include the triangular architecture of Hotel Patria and historic ski jumping hills that define the resort’s skyline.
Use free time to enjoy coffee with mountain views, browse traditional Slovakian souvenirs, or simply appreciate the clean mountain air. Sampling a 'Langoš' or other traditional snacks at the lakeside stalls is recommended.
