#678 Starý Smokovec

📍 Starý Smokovec, High Tatras, Slovakia

About this Stone

This place is one of the oldest and most charming mountain resorts in the High Tatras, often called the historic heart of the range. Founded in the late 19th century as a spa destination, it quickly became a hub for alpine tourism, mountain railways, and grand hotels. Today, it serves as the starting point of the funicular to Hrebienok, a gateway to popular hikes, waterfalls, and winter ice attractions. Sitting at around 1,000 meters above sea level, it makes a perfect base for acclimatizing before heading deeper into the mountains. The stone was left here during a peaceful stroll, hidden near a wooden sign, waiting to surprise the next curious wanderer exploring this classic Tatra spot.
