The city
The oldest mountain resort in the High Tatras, founded at the end of the 18th century, in the middle of the string of villages at the foot of the massif. From there a funicular climbs to Hrebienok, from where short trails lead to the waterfalls of the Studený potok. It belongs to the town of Vysoké Tatry and is the main junction of the electric train.

The local experience
A plateau about 1,285 meters above Starý Smokovec, connected to it by a funicular from the early 20th century. It is the starting point for trails to the Studený potok waterfalls and to the central-valley routes of the massif.
A set of cascades in the Studený potok valley, about a 30-minute trail from Hrebienok. The highest, Obrovský vodopád, drops about 20 meters between two rocks and is viewed from the Magistrála bridge.
