Roháčske plesá

Roháčske plesá consists of several lakes located in a protected mountain region of the Western Tatras at high elevation. They sit below surrounding peaks and can be reached through established hiking routes from multiple starting points.

The area received official protection status in 1974 to safeguard its natural processes and ecosystems. This designation gave formal recognition to the region as an important natural space in Slovakia.

The valley draws visitors who walk marked trails and experience the untamed mountain landscape firsthand. People come here to feel the quietness of these high-altitude waters and encounter nature in its raw state.

Access is on foot via marked trails that offer the best conditions during summer months. Visitors should plan with proper equipment and sufficient time for hiking, as the routes climb to elevation.

The highest lake sits at about 2166 meters and ranks among the most elevated water bodies in this mountain range. This extreme elevation makes it a special destination for hikers seeking genuine mountain experiences.
