Morskie Oko. Zakopane/Poland.
Morskie Oko (literally "Sea Eye" or Eye of the Sea"), is the largest and fourth-deepest lake in the Tatra Mountains.
It is located deep within the Tatra National Park, Poland, in the Rybi Potok (the Fish Brook) Valley, of the High Tatras mountain range at the base of the Mieguszowiecki Summits, in Lesser Poland Voivodeship.
The peaks that surround the lake rise about 1,000 meters above its surface; one of them is Rysy (2,499 meters), the highest peak is the left, is the distinctive, slender Mnchi ("Monk," 2,068 meters). Many Swiss Pines also grow around the lake.
The hut of the Polish Tourism and local Lore Society (PTTK) stands on the moraine that closes the lake from the north. The hut is situated 1,405 meters above sea level and belongs to the oldest Tatra chalets. The hut is named after Stanislaw Staszic, who explored the lakein 1805. It is a point of departure for hikes to Rysy and Szpiglasowa Przelecz. Nearby is the Stare Schronisko ("Old Shelter"), originally a coachhouse. Both buildings have been granted historical status.
Morskie Oko is one of the most popular destinations in the Tatras, often receiving over 50,000 visitors during during the vacation season. It is reached by foot in about two hours from the nearest road that allows motorized access. Many other tourists opt to take the journey by horse-drawn cart, a large number of which are operated by the local Górale inhabitants. In winter , a short section of the joourney is an avalanche danger zone, and the área can remain cold and rainy even in summer. In the advent of its popularity, visitors have been forbidden from swimming in the lake or feeding the trout.
Shalom! Aleichem.
