Štrbské pleso

Štrbské pleso (Hungarian: Csorbató or Csorba-tó, German: Tschirmer See, Polish: Szczyrbskie jezioro) is a picturesque mountain lake of glacial origin and a top tourist destination in the High Tatras, Slovakia.

Štrbské pleso is now part of the neighborhood of Štrbské Pleso (spelled with a capital P). It is on the municipal lands of the village of Štrba, after which Štrbské pleso ("Lake Štrba") is now named. The word pleso ("tarn") is applied only to mountain lakes. The locals used to call it "the puddle" or "pond" (mláka) in the past. It is the second largest glacial lake on the Slovak side of the High Tatras, after Hincovo pleso to which it loses by Шаблон:Convert. It is fed by underground springs and has no visible outflow stream. Its surface remains frozen for around 155 days per year.

A walk around the lake is a must! It's so beautiful in autumn, fresh air, breathtaking nature, what else do we need? :)
Alejandro Martinez Farina
Walk around the lake is very relaxing and clean air. We could not see the lake because of the fog. Still is magical.
