Lysá Poľana is a tourist settlement that is part of the village of Tatranská Javorina. It is located on the northern edge of the High Tatras, right on the state border with Poland, and serves as an important starting point for the Bielovodská Valley.
A blue-marked hiking trail leads from the settlement along the Biela Voda stream through the Bielovodská Polana. The trail continues past Hviezdoslav’s Waterfall toward the Kačacie and Litvorová valleys. A more peaceful alternative is the path to the forest ranger station or the bike trail leading through the Bielovodská Valley.
What We Offer
What do you need to know before you arrive?
Please read this before your visit
Lysá Poľana is one of the busiest places on the Slovak-Polish border. During weekends and the peak tourist season, expect heavy traffic and limited parking.
There are no extensive tourist facilities in the village itself. Therefore, before entering the valley, be sure to bring plenty of water, food, and everything else you’ll need for your planned trip.
The trail to the forest ranger station in the Bielovodská Valley has a compacted gravel surface and is approximately four kilometers long. The more challenging sections leading into the high-mountain terrain require good physical condition, appropriate gear, and adherence to seasonal closures.
