Skalnatá dolina

This valley is thanks to the hiking trails and connections of transport with Tatranská Lomnica (cable car to Skalnaté pleso tarn and cable car to Lomnický peak) highly visited all year-round. It‘s created by a rocky gorge with an interesting closure and it‘s bordered by Lomnický, Kežmarský and Huncovský peaks. The first touristic facility was built here in 1915. Nowadays, there are chalets Skalnatá chata and Encián open for tourists. The Observatory of the Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences is situated on the mounteside of Huncovský štít. No hiking trails lead to the closure of the valley except the prospective point Lomnické saddle, more precisely Veľká Lomnická veža. The most interesting attraction for tourists is the cable car to Lomnický peak. Skalnaté pleso is a favourite skiing resort during the winter and early spring thanks to the slope under the saddle Lomnické sedlo and slopes to Tatranská Lomnica. From the valley, there is a possibility to reach the saddle by a chairlift.
