Popradsk\u00e9 pleso<\/strong> is a glacial lake in the Mengusovsk\u00e1 Valley of the High Tatras in Slovakia, at 1,494 m. With an area of 6.88 ha and a depth of about 17 m, it is one of the larger tarns on the Slovak side of the Tatras. On its shore stands the Horsk\u00fd hotel Popradsk\u00e9 pleso, a mountain hotel with a restaurant, and an easy path circles the lake in about 25–30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short walk above the lake lies the Symbolic Cemetery, created in the 1930s by the painter Otakar \u0160t\u00e1fl in memory of people who died in the Tatra mountains. Popradsk\u00e9 pleso is also a hub of hiking trails: the red-marked Tatra Magistrala leads west to \u0160trbsk\u00e9 Pleso in about 1 h 15 min and east over the Ostrva saddle to Sliezsky dom, while other trails climb to Veľké Hincovo pleso and to Rysy (2,503 m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
