District of Poprad: Strbske Pleso: Štrbské Pleso I
Few places in the High Tatras have a history as closely tied to winter sport as Štrbské Pleso. This mountain settlement occupies the southern slopes of the range beside the glacial lake of the same name, within Tatra National Park. Dense conifer forest, steep mountain terrain and a compact resort centre give it a distinctly alpine setting. Štrbské Pleso became an important Slovak centre for Nordic skiing and ski jumping; it hosted the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1970. The lake and surrounding paths make it a well-known starting point for walks into the High Tatras, while rail links connect the resort with the foothills.

The District of Poprad is best known in Slovakia for the High Tatras, whose southern slopes occupy its northern reaches. Gerlachovský štít, Slovakia’s highest mountain at 2,655 metres, rises within this mountain range, while the Poprad River runs through the district on its northward course towards Poland. The town of Poprad serves as an important regional centre, and the Tatra Electric Railway connects it with several mountain settlements and resorts. Historic Spiš lies to the east, adding another layer to the area’s wider cultural setting. Browse other webcams across the Prešov Region to place this Tatra district in a wider geographic context.

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.
