Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Nine original electric units dating from 1912 still run on the 35-kilometer track, making this one of Europe's oldest continuously operating electric railways. The line climbs 430 meters in elevation as it snakes through the High Tatras, passing 18 stops that connect the region's scattered resorts and lakes.
Destacados: In summer, grab a seat on the left side from Štrbské Pleso for a cinematic reveal of Popradské Pleso lake framed by sheer granite cliffs. The 1940s-era motor cars still use original brass control levers and wooden benches, giving the ride the feel of a moving museum rather than just transit.
Consejos de expertos
- Board at Poprad-Tatry station to guarantee a window seat on the left side for the best mountain views.
- The 15-minute ride between Štrbské Pleso and Popradské Pleso is the most scenic section of the entire line.
- Skip the last car during peak season if you dislike vintage engine smell; the middle cars are quieter and still historic.
- Bring cash for the conductor as card readers sometimes fail on older train units.
