Hike through the forest between Štrbské and Popradské Pleso
The nature trail leads from Štrbské Pleso across the forested Trigana ridge toward Popradské Pleso. Fourteen stops provide insights into the forest as a living ecosystem, where trees, plants, animals, water, and the natural processes that shape the mountain landscape all have their place.
During the walk, visitors will learn more about forest tree species, Swiss stone pine, mountain plants, animals, avalanches, and nature conservation. The trail is easy, runs parallel to the red hiking trail, and offers pleasant views of the surrounding Tatra peaks.

The trail is considered an easy hike, but it winds through rocky and forested terrain with a gentle incline. Over a distance of approximately four kilometers, it climbs about 250 meters.
The trail begins at Štrbské Pleso at the junction with the red-marked trail near the sports complex. It continues through Trigan to the fork in the trail above Popradské Pleso, from where it descends to the lake itself.
The red trail from Trigan, which runs beneath the slopes of Patria, is intended for use during the summer hiking season. When there is snow on the ground, continue from the Trigan trail junction along the green winter trail, which bypasses the avalanche-prone section.
