...let´s go for a walk on the top of the Lomnický štít...

The peak Lomnický štít is one of the highest and most visited mountain peaks in the High Tatras mountains of Slovakia. Connected by cable car to Tatranská Lomnica and Skalnaté pleso mountain cottage, its summit is 2634 metres above sea level, making it the second highest peak in the High Tatras after Gerlachovský štít. Since 1940, tourists have reached the peak by cable car, which was the most modern in Europe at the time of opening. They are allowed to stay on the peak for 50 minutes. The cable car system is normally closed in the month of May for annual maintenance. It is also possible to climb the peak from Lomnický Saddle, but this is only permitted with a mountain guide.

The top of the Lomnický štít is an ideal place for valuable meteorological and astronomical observations, research and measurements. The building from 1940 was constructed along with the rope funicular.

Regular meteorological observations are carried out here since 1940.
