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
