Skalnaté Pleso (lake)

Skalnaté pleso (1751m) is a lake located in the High Tatras mountains in the north of Slovakia.

[2] In November 2021, there was a rare occurrence, as Pleso dried out entirely.

This was the result of a dry period, as it is filled solely by precipitation, and continued evaporation.

[3] In the dry season, the lake is without water because the impermeable bedrock was disturbed during the construction of the cable car.

The Skalnatý Brook flows through the lake, but in the dry season it dries up and appears in the valley below the lake.
