Štrbské Pleso is located in the High Tatras (Slovak Republic Prešov Region) and is part of three local parts of the
village Štrba. Štrbské Pleso is a major center of tourism and
winter sports. It is located at southern shore of Lake Strbske Pleso by altitude of 1,346 metres above sea level. From
the town of Poprad is Štrbské Pleso 26 km away.

Dušan Hamar (SVK) - Medical Committee Vice Chair
Štrbské Pleso is known as a place that is mainly used
for skiing, cross country skiing, ski jumping and summer
tourism. Already in 1900 European Championships in speed
skating was held on the frozen surface and in 1925 and the
old continent in ice hockey, but for the bad weather had to
finish in Stary Smokovec.
The first ski jumping at Štrbské Pleso have not been in
this area, but a few hundred meters below in the New Štrbské Pleso on the hill called Klát in 1918.
The owner of the New Štrbské Pleso Karol Móry built of
snow and with the help of a wooden timbering springboard.
Jumpers were collected at the top of the hill and one be run
on the bridge and stopped to the frozen surface of the New
Štrbské Pleso. This small Ski jumping hill was not enough
for a couple of years, so carpenters based on project of Karel Jarolímek built in the valley Mlynicka bigger jumping hill,
where in 1935 held FIS races, later renamed World Championship classic ski disciplines. Efforts to obtain further arrangement the World Cup in 1966 was the impulse for the beginning of construction of the current FIS Ski Jumping Area,
where the 1970 World Cup held in the classic ski disciplines.
Traditionally in Štrbské Pleso competitions Tatra Cup
(since 1950) were held, nine World Cups in ski jumping, eleven World Cup Nordic Combined, fifteen Continental Cups in
ski jumping and seven Continental Cups Nordic Combined.
Between 1987 and 1999 there were held the World Winter Universiade and many other international ski races. The
most interesting in Štrbské Pleso is the possibility of alpine
skiing in the FIS – ski slopes Interski and Solisko (with the
new chairlift).

Welcome to
Slovakia
Ideally located in the heart of Europe, bordering with Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine, Slovakia
has a population of 5.5 million people with a rich culture, dynamic folklore and interesting tourism attractions throughout
the year.
The Bratislava Region represents the
Capital city, Bratislava, located on the
banks of Europe’s
most famous river,
the Danube. Bratislava is the only capital city in the world,
which borders simultaneously with two
countries - Hungary and Austria. It is located 60 km east of Vienna (Austria), which is the shortest distance between two capital cities in Europe. According CNN, Bratislava is for its history,
cultural heritage and fairy tale streets listed among six Europe´s
most fascinating border towns.
This strategically important place has often played a big
role in the history of central Europe. The date of December 2nd
1291 is not the date of birth of Pressburg. In the 14th and 15th
centuries Bratislava lived the period of rapid development in
trade. After Turks penetrated deeper into the Kingdom, Bratislava was established the Capital of the
Kingdom of Hungary, the seat of the
Hungarian Diet, central administration
and the coronation town of the Hungarian Kings and Queens. Eleven Kings
and eight royal wives were crowned in
Bratislava in the years between 1563
and 1830.
The counter-Turk wars and the Rebellions of Estates in the 16th and 17th
centuries have interrupted the development of towns. In the 18th century
and above all during the reign of Queen Maria Theresa the
significance of Bratislava increased again. Great amount of
wonderful palaces and buildings still survive from that period. The city became the centre of cultural in the 19th century
and Bratislava was the cradle of the Slovak national emancipation. Bratislava now is the modern city and the seat of
most important political, economic, social and scientific bodies and institutions.
46 SPORT MANUAL
One of the city dominants which can be seen from far distance is The Castle of Bratislava. The most attractive part
of Bratislava is the Old Town where the most historical sights as
well as cultural institutions are concentrated. Its tiny lanes offer
an ideal atmosphere for romantic walks to those who love to
follow signs of history in the middle of modern world.
The Danube Lowlands Region is located along the Danube
River. Its main attractions are the Sunny Lakes in Senec, water
sports and cyclo-tourism with the most famous bicycle trail in
Europe, the International Danube route, starting in Germany
and passing through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and finishing
at the Black Sea. Several castle ruins are very famous in the area
such as the Devín Castle set on a steep rock towering high above
the confluence of the Danube and the Morava rivers. The Devín
Castle, at its heydays, controlled one of the most important
trade routes between the North Sea and the Baltic States in the
north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south.
The Zilina Region in the north-west of Slovakia is very famous for its tourism offer. It features natural wonders such as
beautiful underground caves, the amazing Orava Castle dating from the 13th century and the renowned Vlkolinec village,
a remarkably intact settlement with characteristic central European-type log-built architecture, listed on the UNESCO World
Heritage List. One of the best Slovak alpine resorts, Jasna,
is open all year round with direct access by cable car to Chopok,
the third highest peak in the Low Tatras culminating at 2,023 m.
Three localities from Slovakia were inscribed to the UNESCO
World Heritage List already in 1993: Castle of Spiš and its environs, Banská Štiavnica and Vlkolínec. In 2000, the historic town
Bardejov was added, in 2008 wooden churches of the Slovak
part of Carpathian Mountain Area and in 2009 town Levoča.
The Castle of Spiš
is the largest medieval castle compound in central
Europe along with
the little town of
Spišské Podhradie
(with typical Renaissance
and
Baroque burgher
houses), the Church town of Spišská Kapitula (including several
sacral monuments and above all the impressing two tower cathedral of St Martin) and the Gothic church of the Holy Spirit in
Žehra from the 14th century and frescoes in its interior from the
14th and 15th centuries. Well conserved monuments along with
the charming natural setting of the travertine territory of the
National Nature Reserve Dreveník forms a unique whole.
In June 2009, the historic town of Levoča was included
in this group of Spiš monuments. Banská Štiavnica is a town
monument reserve which demonstrates the mining tradition in
Slovakia, Vlkolínec represents a reserve of traditional folk architecture and Bardejov is considered to be the most Gothic town
in Slovakia. Wooden Churches of the Slovak part of Carpathian
CROSS COUNTRY 47
Lomnický štít
Mountain Area possess an extraordinary worldwide value,
too. The churches include: Roman Catholic churches in Hervartov and Tvrdošín, Evangelical articular churches in Kežmarok,
