To protect the ice from the heat, they took him to the Štrbské station at night and loaded it there. In the 1898 season, the Košice-Bohumín railway transported around 2,000 ice wagons, which competed with Norwegian ice for quality. In 1902, the then landowner Jozef Szentiványi got into financial distress and sold Štrbské pleso to the Hungarian state, which, as the new owner, stopped mining and selling ice.
It is also interesting that you are on the site of the former lower station of the first ski lift in Slovakia on the slope Solisko, which was built in 1943 and stood directly on the lake, the track was 3,000 meters long and served until 1967 (picture from 1944) or an indoor swimming pool at the ball.

"The winner of this year's section is special for us, which is why we came here. The High Tatras are becoming our top destination in Europe for the summer of 2019 . They have amazing nature, beautiful views, beautiful wilderness. We are especially impressed by the bears, which are already almost extinct in the rest of the world, and amazing hiking trails that are not so well known, "said Joe Reville.
Lonely Planet called the High Tatras a paradise for adventurers and a mythical landscape. He appreciates the hospitality at the alpine huts, the possibility of boating at Štrbské pleso or wildlife observation, which is offered by some experiential travel agencies.
