Squirrel Rope Park
In a previous article, we mentioned the unique opportunity for a romantic boat ride on Štrbské Pleso, but this time we take a different route - the Squirrel Rope Park at Štrbské Pleso is an ideal place for the whole family. For those seeking adrenaline and fun, there are 22 rope obstacles to enjoy, and in addition to physical activity, you’ll be treated to views of the surrounding Tatra nature. This park offers various routes with different difficulty levels, all in the stunning setting of Tatra forests. The autumn colors add a magical atmosphere to the park, drawing you into a world of adventure.
AquaCity Poprad
Not far from our luxurious Boutique Suites Deforte in Spišská Sobota, near the town of Poprad, lies AquaCity Poprad. This modern water park is the perfect choice for a full-day adventure if you crave a break from the mountains and want to swap it for some poolside fun. But if you're more in the mood for relaxation after a day of intense activity, you can recharge in the thermal waters or wellness area. With a view of the majestic Tatras, you’ll feel like you’re still close to nature while being enveloped in comfort and tranquility.

For those interested in culture, the Tatra Gallery in Poprad is a great place to visit. The autumn exhibitions often feature works that capture the Tatra nature and life in this region, providing a unique artistic experience. During your holiday, whether in Spišská Sobota or deeper in the Tatras, you can relax both body and mind. In the historic square in Spišská Sobota as well as in the town of Poprad, you will find excellent culture, art, and culinary experiences.
Cycling in Tatranská Lomnica
Villa Himalaya offers a private, secluded wellness area, and its strategic location near the most popular hiking trails makes it well-suited for autumn cycling in Tatranská Lomnica. Cycling will provide you with a completely different dimension and perspective on the mountainous environment, and compared to summer, you'll find less crowded trails that lead to places you might not visit on foot. We recommend the route from Tatranská Lomnica to Tatranská Kotlina, which is suitable for everyone – from families with children to cycling enthusiasts. If you prefer comfortable and easy exploration of the Tatra’s beauty, but long-distance cycling is not your strong suit, electric bikes are the right choice. In Tatranská Lomnica, you can rent an electric bike and set off on a ride along the surrounding trails, where the autumn landscape will captivate you in all its glory.
TANAP Museum
The TANAP Museum in Tatranská Lomnica offers a fascinating insight into the nature and history of the High Tatras. Autumn days are ideal for visiting this museum, where you can learn more about the flora and fauna of this unique region, as well as the history of nature conservation in the Tatras. If you’re staying in the Tatras for an extended period and want to fill your busy schedule with a relaxing activity, visiting a museum is the right choice.
Horseback Riding in Starý Smokovec
Starý Smokovec is known for its exceptional cog railway, which takes you up to Hrebienok - a starting point for many great hikes. But that’s not all this area has to offer - for animal and nature lovers, horseback riding in Starý Smokovec is a unique experience. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you can embark on a ride through picturesque forests, fully enjoying the autumn atmosphere of the Tatras.
At the turn of summer and autumn, the High Tatras become a place where nature and culture intertwine, offering countless opportunities for both active and relaxing getaways.
