small morainic lake, Vchodn Slovensko kraj (region), Slovakia. It lies at the end of a narrow-gauge electric railway from Poprad. At 4,455 feet (1,358 m) in elevation, it is the most popular of the lakes in the High Tatra mountain range. A picturesque village of the same name has developed around the lake, with tourist, skiing, and health centres. Within the area are more than 100 lakes and several waterfalls, and the highest peaks in Tatra National Park are nearby. Just south of the lake, but several hundred feet lower than it, is an important pass between the Biely Vh and Poprad rivers.
