Štrbské pleso
The highest settlement in the High Tatras (1,346 m above sea level) is a tourist must-see. Very beautiful and popular among the tourists but the locals too.
Whether you decide to take a relaxing walk or a several-hour hike, everything is possible. Just pick :)
Do you prefer to sport ? Skiing, mountaineering or running, no problem.
From Leharo to Štrbské pleso it is only a 22 km route by car, but you can also get there by tram and believe me, it worth visiting.
Popradské pleso
Popradské pleso is located in the valley Mengusovska dolina at an altitude of 1500 m. Next to the lake there is a mountain hotel Horský hotel Popradské pleso and a chalet Majlathova chata. A short 30 min. hike from the lake will take you to a well-known cemetery dedicated to those people who died in the High Tatras - Symbolický cintorín. The easiest way to get to the tarn is from the tram stop Popradské pleso with the blue marked trail (1h:15 min.) or from Štrbské pleso following the red marked trail (1h:30min.)

Starý Smokovec - the lookout and the Calvary
The lookout at Pekná vyhliadka can be found near Smokovecká kyselka spring well above Starý Smokovec. Several undemanding routes lead to it. The lookout is equipped with a wooden, covered gazebo with seating.
The ascent can also be combined with a walk to a calvary, which also leads to the outlook.
The highest located calvary in Central Europe is not being a traditional one, but rather an original artistic expression of the professional Slovak and Polish artists (2010 - 2013), symbolizing a tribute to our mountains.

Hrebienok - Rainerova chata
Among the most popular Tatra-walks belongs a comfortable trail (also suitable for wheelchairs) from Starý Smokovec through Hrebienok to Rainer-hut - the oldest chalet in the High Tatras.
It is located in Malá Studená dolina and you can reach by a green trail in about 20 minutes. You can also combine the trip with the walk to the Studený potok waterfalls - located only a few minutes from Rainer's hut, or return the same way.
Waterfalls and Cascades of Studený Potok
The lower part of Studený potok (the "cold stream") is passing by Leharo therefore it would be shame to miss its upper - more beautiful part.
The stream flows through a huge terrain break and creates beautiful cascades, especially nice when the snow is melting in the spring or after heavy rains when the water level is high.
There are several marked hiking trails along the waterfalls.
Stará Lesná - Astronomical Educational Trail
The Astronomical Institute in Stará Lesná is hidden among the trees, but we definitely recommend a visit to our small guests who are curious about space. You can get inside the institute only in larger groups (by prior-booking) or during the open day but an educational trail around the institute is freely accessible for everybody all year round.
The trail contains 13 panels with the most important information not only about the instrumentation of the Astronomical Institute but also about celestial bodies. It starts at the main building of the institute and ends at the last dome with binoculars.
Easily accessible from Leharo - only a 15-minute walk by a marked cycle path (direction Tatranská Lomnica).

Therelare two observation platforms along the trail, which allow visitors to observe the surroundings almost from a bird's perspective. The walkways are made of wooden boards to comfortably walk in otherwise difficult to navigate wet environments. At the beginning and end of the trail are information materials in a wooden box for German and English speaking tourists that can be borrowed.
The trail is accessible all year round but it is definitely better to visit the trail during the vegetation period of plants, which will enhance the experience of visiting the trail.

It should be taken into account that the route is not specially marked so you would better study the map before hand or have google at hand :)

On the opposite - western side we have a small Cold Valley with Téry's cottage. It is not uncommon to spot chamois here. You can take it all the way up by cable car from Tatranská Lomnica, which is a beautiful trip for children or less mobile people.

In its immediate neighbourhood, the longest Tatra ski slope from Lomnické sedlo (2,190 m above sea level) to Tatranská Lomnica (888 m above sea level) is passing by so more comfortable tourists can take a cable car to get here.
Nice stop with an even more beautiful view of the Poprad basin.
