Beginning in Štrbské Pleso, we ascend on the path of the Mlynická dolina valley. After around one hour, we get to a wonderful waterfall called Skok (Jump). From above the waterfall, we get to see a spectacular panorama. After a short break, we walk through the great meadow of mountain flowers and small rivers. At the end of the valley, the trail leads us to Capie pleso tarn (2,225 m). The winding path takes us from the tarn under the saddle called Bystrá lávka from where we continue to Furkotský štít peak. The spectacular view of the Tatras from there is definitely worth visiting. On our way back we can see Wahlenbergher tarns. On the way down we can stop by Chata pod Soliskom, a mountain hut, and from there we get to Štrbské Pleso. This hike is only possible with an international mountain leader as it leads beyond the marked trails of the national park.
