Hrebienok (1285 m) - Sliezsky Dom (1670 m, 2 h). Back the same way (1 hr. 15 min.), total time 3 hrs. 20 min.
From Sliezsky Dom, we descend to Velické Tarn and go through a small meadow. We continue on a flat section; on one rocky section, the path is quite narrow (dangerous in case of icy conditions!). The trail starts to climb slightly, traversing Senna kopa. We go around the terrain elevation and, on the right side, go around the Slavkovské Tarn hidden in the dwarf pines. A forest eventually replaces the dwarf pines. We descend steeply to the crossroads at Magistrala, then the descent is gentler, and we continue to Hrebienok.
Hike from Hrebienok to Sliezsky Dom
From Hrebienok, we set off along the red hiking trails, which are visible from the beginning of the hike. The hiking trail is uphill most of the time, but the climb is manageable thanks to the forest road and stones. After an hour's hike through the forest, the forest slowly merges once again with the dwarf pines, and we have a fantastic view of the town of Poprad and the adjacent towns and villages. At the same time, as we enter the dwarf pines, we get a view of Sliezsky Dom and the destination of our journey. The final stage of the hike stretches under the peaks on rocks and requires sturdy hiking boots. After about two hours, we reach the destination of our hike - the Sliezsky Dom Mountain Hotel.
