Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An amazingly beautiful lake very popular among travelers. It is recommended to park in the Parkovisko - Štrbské Pleso parking lot. The other parking lots in the area are much more expensive. From the parking lot it is about a five minute walk to the stairs and from there you go up to the lake. It is possible to walk around - a little more walking. About five minutes drive from there is the Tatras Tower observation tower and a cable car. For those traveling off-season (we were in October) you should check the operating hours of the observation tower and the cable car in advance, it works mainly on weekends with limited hours.

At an altitude of 1346m this is a mountain lake that is frozen almost half of the year. It is less than 20m deep and limited in size. In summer it is a pleasant cool place to walk around (most people take less than an hour). Trails into the High Tatras start here as well.
Strbske Pleso village can be reached easily by train from Poprad perhaps explaining why the lake has become a tourist hot spot with many new hotels and restaurants. Of course in winter it is a popular skiing resort.

The lake and the area is a popular vacation spot with beautiful walking paths, atmospheric restaurants and nice hotels. The walking path around the lake ( about 3.5 miles) is a favorite of everyone visiting this area high in the Tatra mountains. The lake was still frozen in April and snow covered the mountains, but the sun peaking out of the clouds made everyone cheerful and friendly. Many families with children also found the place perfect for a weekend visit.

No trip to our favourite part of the Vysoke Tatry would be complete without a walk around the lake at Strbske Pleso. It’s a brilliant place to visit in summer for the walks, in winter as a winter skiing resort.
This time we took the cog railway from Strba , it was a nice way to climb the mountain and a return journey is only €2!
It’s a photographers paradise the scenery is just incredible, I’d implore people to visit.

You can walk around the mountain lake or go by boat (close to Kempinsky hotel). Bike is not allowed.
Nice surrounding and perfect for slow walk.
However you can find better/more picturesque places in Tatras - Morskie Oko or 5-lakes valley on Polish side.

Our first stop in Slovakia and wow what a place! Absolutely stunning scenery around the lake. Would be gorgeous in ski season. It was very warm when we visited in June. The walk around the lake was lovely and peaceful, and like being a part of a National Geographic magazine!!! Loved it.

Please recommend a good hotel to stay
There is any rafting in the area ?
Thanks in advance
Written 8 January 2018
I don'r think there is rafting in the area of Strbske Pleso Lake. About hotels- distances aren't great, so search for hotels nearby and see recommendations. We rented a car dor the week we stayed, so we moved around.
