Ascent to Predné Solisko through Furkotská dolina

A medium challenging half-day hike. We start the hike from Štrbské pleso 0,40 h to a junction Rázcestie pod Furkotou. If we continued along the red trail, we would got to a tarn Jamské pleso, but we choose the yellow trail instead. After 1 hour along the first forest path and then stone steps, we get to a junction Rázcestie pod Soliskom (otherwise known as Škutnastá poľana). From this point it takes only 0,15h. to reach the chalet Chata pod Soliskom. The chalet offers good rest and refreshment. An additional 40 minutes will take us to the peak Predné Solisko. We climb the rocky trail with stone rubble and partially unpaved areas. What awaits us at the top are wonderful views of the entire Štrbské pleso and surroundings. We can take the same route back, use a chairlift, or follow the blue trail 1,25 h that leads under the chairlift down to Štrbské Pleso.
