Facts about the hike:
Total Hiking time: 6-7 Hours
Difficulty level: Medium
Trail mark colours: Red, Green
Vertical profile: Strbske pleso (1355 m) - Popradské pleso (1500 m) - Sedlo pod Ostrvou (1966 m) - Batizovské pleso (1884 m) - Velické pleso (1665 m) - Tatranska Polianka (1005 m)

The majority of this hike is along the red tourist mark of Tatra Magistrale which is the longest Tatra hike crossing the High Tatras in an east-west direction. The route may be compared to a tourist highway that connects most of the Tatras sites. The starting point of this hike is located in Mlynicka dolina valley near to the Helios sanatorium. From this point the Popradske pleso lake (1500 m) should be reached in about 60 minutes. This part of the hike is a difficult ascent to the Pod Ostrvou pass at 1,966 m. This should take approximately 50 minutes. Continue along the trail, slowly rising and falling till the Batizovske pleso-lake is reached. This should take about 60 - 90 minutes. From Batizovske pleso the trail goes downwards and after 50 minutes the Sliezsky dominear Hotel and Velicke pleso lake (1,665 m) should be reached. From this point, and for the first time on this hike, leave the red mark and follow the green trail down to Tatranska Polianka (70 - 80 minutes) which is the destination for this hike. To return back to Strbske it is recommended to use the railway. The trail is open all year. However, in winter time the section Popradske pleso - Pod Ostrvou may be closed because of the possibility of avalanches.
