Hiking
Majority visitors come to the High Tatras for the
reason of tourism. The relatively quality net of tourist paths with
its lenght (with the Belan Tatras too) 297,5 ,m is built in the
High Tatras´ region. The good-visible square marks (10x10 cm) with
two borer white stripes, between which a red coloured, blue, green
or yellow stripe is, are in the ground. If the marks are above the
zone of fir-wood under snow, a route is considered as a not marked!
A part of paths leads at the foot of territory, another are situated
at middle position and the most ardouos take us onto the most endangerous
parts of mountain or ridges and summits. The „Tatra magistrala“
46 km long red – marked, is an axis of tourist routes. It leads
at the southern foot of the Tatras from Podbanske (940 m) to White
Mountain Lake ( 1612 m). It culminates onto the saddle „sedlo pod
Ostrvou“ (1959 m) and „sedlo pod Svištovkou“ (2023 m) or „Big Svištovka“
peak (2037 m). A part of Tatra magistrala is also a section Štrbské
Mountain Lake – Popradské Mountain Lake. 14 new informative panels
guide us on this section since 22. 9. 2001. They have aim to inform
us about importance of forests and life in it. The learning path
is 3925 m long, and because is quite frequent (1934 walkers/day)
should contribute to inform people about forest ecosystem and as
well as security of our forests. From 1. 11. to 15. 6. upper parts
of paths above the upper line of forests are closed for public except
only the valleys in which some chalets are open all yearly and to
which an access is possible in the winter but only in good snow
and meteorological condition. We should inform about snow and meteorological
condition before toru in TANAP.
Tourists should remember to five basic rules during movement in
mountains:
1) select tour suitable to our fitness
2) an aim of tour and when you suppose to return announce to your
accommodater
3) leave in the morning and never alone
4) during tour keep on marked paths
5) keep away from snow summer fields
