Nice bicycle paths all around the lake

For a shelter, the food is quite good, especially the sweet snacks - cheesecake, apple pie, normal prices, quite crowded in season and it's better to book accommodation in advance. In good weather, you can eat a meal outside with a beautiful free view of the Tatra Mountains.
