This is a "spear" ;) one of many near the lake. The entire route around the lake is worth recommending!

The section from Svit to Poprad is a very pleasant route leading along an asphalt bike path along the Poprad River. This section is part of the Trail Around the Tatras and is great for a leisurely ride on a trekking or gravel bike. The road is almost completely flat, well marked and separated from car traffic. Along the way, we are accompanied by a view of the High Tatras, and after reaching Poprad, you can take a break at one of the many catering points or visit the local aquapark.
