The only mountain hut in the Belianske Tatras

The Plesnivec Mountain Hut is located in the Belianske Tatras at an elevation of 1,290 meters above sea level. It lies at the end of the Valley of the Seven Springs, on the southeastern slope of Bujačí Hill, beneath the cliffs of Skalné Vráta.

It is the only mountain hut in the Belianske Tatras and is a favorite destination for hikers seeking to explore a quieter part of the Tatra Mountains’ natural landscape. The lodge offers cozy accommodations for 20 guests in six rooms, with restrooms and showers available.

On the ground floor, there is a kitchen and dining room where visitors can enjoy hot and cold meals and drinks or purchase souvenirs. The lodge is open year-round and accessible from several hiking trails, such as those from Tatranská Kotlina, Kežmarské Žľaby, Tatranská Javorina, Ždiar, or from the lodge at Zelené pleso.

Everything You Need to Know Before Your Trip

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about the High Tatras region.

    Once in a while, we'll send you the best.

    The High Tatras have something to offer all year round. The best time for high-altitude hiking is from June to October, when the hiking trails at higher elevations are open. Fall brings more stable weather, pleasant temperatures, and beautiful views. Winter is ideal for skiing, winter walks, and visiting locations that are accessible year-round. Before setting out on a trip, always check the current weather conditions and any trail closures.

    You do not need a special permit for regular hiking on marked trails. However, you must comply with TANAP’s visitor regulations and seasonal closures, and you may only hike on open trails. Special rules apply, for example, to rock climbing, ski mountaineering, hiking off marked trails, or bringing a dog into the park.

    You can easily reach the main Tatra resorts by train. The Tatra Electric Railways connect Poprad, Starý Smokovec, Štrbské Pleso, and Tatranská Lomnica. A cog railway runs from Štrba to Štrbské Pleso. You can also take advantage of regular bus routes and seasonal shuttle services in the region.

    You can park in designated parking lots in the various Tatra villages. During peak periods, we recommend using the P+R park-and-ride lot at Eurocamp in Tatranská Lomnica and continuing by shuttle bus. From this parking lot, you can take public transportation to destinations such as Tatranská Lomnica, Tatranské Matliare, Biela Voda, or the Belianska Cave.

    For hiking, choose sturdy hiking boots with non-slip soles that stabilize your feet and protect them on rocky or wet terrain. Your gear should also include weather-appropriate clothing and a rain jacket. Sandals and regular city shoes are not suitable for more demanding hikes.

    When a storm is approaching, leave peaks, ridges, saddles, mountain passes, and open areas as soon as possible. Descend to lower elevations, avoid standing near isolated trees or metal objects, and keep your distance from other members of your group. If possible, take shelter in a mountain hut or a safe building. The best prevention is to check the weather forecast, set out early in the morning, and shorten or cancel your hike in a timely manner if conditions take a turn for the worse. Safety must take precedence over reaching your destination.
