If you’re craving a calm nature escape with incredible mountain vistas, this day trip from Zakopane is the perfect choice. We begin the day with a relaxing drive across the border into Slovakia, heading to the Bachledka Treetop Walk, located between the Pieniny and Tatra National Parks. A short cable car ride takes you to Magura Spiska, where your walk through the trees begins.
Suspended among towering pines, this 600-meter-long wooden path winds through diverse forest habitats. Along the way, you’ll find six educational stops in English, sharing stories about local wildlife, plant species, and forest preservation efforts. The highlight awaits at the end of the trail: a 32-meter-tall observation tower with panoramic views of the Tatras—ideal for photos and quiet reflection.
After descending by cable car, your next destination is the breathtaking Strbske Pleso. Nestled at 1,346 meters above sea level, this glacial lake is often compared to Poland’s Morskie Oko and is known both as a climatic health resort and popular ski hub. You’ll have time to stroll the lakeside, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and admire views of Gerlach Peak, the highest summit in the Carpathians.
This tour is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Tatra landscape without the intensity of hiking.
