District of Poprad: Strbske Pleso: Štrbské Pleso, Interski - Mostíky
Štrbské Pleso combines a high-mountain setting with a long sporting tradition in a way that reflects its position in Slovakia’s High Tatras. The settlement developed beside Štrbské pleso, a glacial lake at 1,346 metres, enclosed by conifer forest and granite summits. It is among the country’s best-known mountain resorts, with hiking routes leading into Tatra National Park and facilities for Nordic skiing and ski jumping. The Mostíky jumps belong to a venue that hosted the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1970. Hotels and mountain infrastructure give the lakeshore an active character, while the lake remains the focal point of the settlement.

Carpathian ranges and river-cut valleys define much of the Prešov Region – forests, pastureland and upland settlements shape forestry, farming and outdoor tourism. In northeastern Slovakia, the region extends from the High Tatras towards the Pieniny on the Polish border, with the Poprad, Hornád, Torysa and Ondava among its important waterways. Its cultural heritage is equally distinctive: Bardejov’s medieval centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Spiš Castle recalls the historical importance of the Spiš area. Several UNESCO-listed wooden churches of the Slovak Carpathians also stand here. Explore related webcams around the Prešov Region for a broader impression of this part of Slovakia.

Slovakia is best known internationally for the High Tatras, whose granite summits form the country’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is the highest peak in Slovakia and in the Carpathians. The Danube runs past Bratislava, where Bratislava Castle stands on a hill above the river, linking the capital to Central Europe’s major waterway. Beyond the cities, forests, karst terrain and small historic towns define much of the country. Slovakia’s long folk tradition is also represented by the fujara, a large shepherd’s flute recognised by UNESCO.
