June 18: High Tatra mountains

Today we hiked in the High Tatra mountains, about 10 kms with a couple of ascents and descents.We walked through the stunning alpine landscape of the High Tatras, walking past snow-fed streams and up to Popradske Lake.

There were a number of options for walking back from the lake, and a couple of us chose the train option. We walked for a hour down a road, with lovely field flowers on both sides.

We reached Popradske station which is just a hut in the middle of nowhere, but sure enough at 12.41 pm, the train arrived.

It was just one stop to the town where our hotel is located, Štrbské ( notice the name only has one vowel).

Then a short walk up a set of stairs to reach our hotel.

Then it was time for a well deserved massage (which we booked from home to make sure we got an appointment), and dinner at the hotel.

Before dinner, we had cocktails outside the library … more gorgeous views
