In 1895, Tatranska Lomnica was connected by
railway with Poprad, and in 1896 the cogwheel railway connecting Strba to Strbske Pleso
was completed. The Tatra Electric Railway tied this network together during the period
from 1908 to 1912. In recent decades, refurbishment and technical adaptations have kept
the system up to date and reliable. Since 1908 a funicular railway has joined Stary
Smokovec with the Hrebienok ridge. An aerial cablecar from Tatranska Lomnica to
Lomnicky Stit peak was built in 1940, and an adjacent cablecar to the Skalnate Pleso tarn
in 1873.

Mountain hotels and Chalets in the High Tatras

Hiking in the High Tatra mountains, once an activity of high adventurers alone, is now a
sport enjoyed by all who love the outdoors. This is in part thanks to the long history of
distinguished service offered by the High Tatras' mountain hotels (offering complete
hotel services year round) and chalets (which provide more rustic lodging services
for hikers, in most cases year round). Here we will note eight of the best known of these
facilities. Each has its own unique seal, which travelers can imprint as a souvenir of their
ascent. ? Sliezsky dom - Mountain hotel 'Silesian House' - 1670 m a.s.l. ? Chata pri Zelenom plese - Chalet by 'Green Tarn' - 1551 m a.s.l. ? Zamkovskeho chata - 'Zamkovsky Chalet' - 1475 m a.s.l. ?
