Bus Hire in High Tatras, Slovakia

The Carpathians reach their highest point here, and the difference is obvious the moment the road climbs out of the surrounding lowlands. Jagged granite peaks replace rolling hills within a matter of kilometres, and three resort towns share the range's tourist traffic between them, each with its own character and its own reason to visit.

Strbske Pleso sits beside a glacial lake at over 1,300 metres, ringed by peaks that reflect in the water on calm mornings. From Tatranska Lomnica, a cable car climbs to within reach of Lomnicky stit, at 2,634 metres the second-highest peak in the range, giving non-climbers a summit view most would otherwise need serious mountaineering to earn. Stary Smokovec runs Slovakia's oldest funicular railway, opened in 1908 and still carrying passengers up toward Hrebienok more than a century later.
