To Popradzki Staw and the Symbolic Tatra Cemetery.
The trail leading to Popradzki Staw is simple, well-marked, and mostly paved, making it ideal for people with little mountain experience. Thanks to the relatively small elevation difference (around 369 m), the route is not physically demanding. It can easily be completed even with children or elderly individuals. Along the way, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Mięguszowiecka Valley, making the walk not only enjoyable but also a chance to relax surrounded by nature.
Ideal for beginner tourists and families with children.
Popradzki Staw offers more than just picturesque landscapes. By the lake, there are two lodges – Majláthova Chata and the Mountain Hotel – where you can rest, enjoy local dishes, and where children can use play areas. In winter, an additional attraction is the possibility of renting sleds. The scenery of the lake surrounded by mountain peaks is unique and delights both adults and the youngest visitors.
