Description
Zelene pleso, also known as the Green Lake, is a fantastic Slovak moraine lake situated in the Dolina Zeleného plesa, a valley of the High Tatras. Lying at 1545 meters in height, the Green Lake offers the best setting to enjoy some rock climbing time surrounded by astonishing granite formations.
It’ll be my pleasure to guide you there for one or several days and climb the amazing spires that the Tatra mountains has for you. I also love to take my friends and clients to Zelene pleso because it’s not a typical destination. Indeed it’s a perfect option for those who are seeking a wild and uncrowded climbing spot to leave the stress of the city behind.
As for the itinerary, we’ll meet up in the White Water Parking lot. From there, we’ll enjoy a panoramic 2-hour hike to the hut, which is located on the shore of the Green lake, at the ending point of the famous Tatras Haute Route. Once there we can try some of the main granite needles of the area, such as the Jastrabia Tower, the Kozi stit or the Black Peak.
These climbing journeys are available all year round and open to everyone. There is no technical or physical requirement to join this adventure. In addition we can combine it with some hiking itineraries.

Mountain Guide
I’m an IFMGA mountain guide born in west Slovakia, in 1973. Nowadays I live in Poprad, a city 10 km away from the High Tatras, the mountains where I’ve been working for 25 years.
I came to High Tatras when I was student, in the summer of 1991. I started to work as a mountain carrier-sherpa in the chalet Rysy. I was also a professional member of the mountain rescue service.
In 2011, I finished my mountain education in Chamonix and became an international mountain guide. I also worked as a cave rescuer in Slovakia.
During winter, I enjoy ski-mountaineering, freeride, ice climbing and ascending different peaks. On the summer season, I practice mountain climbing, hiking, mountain bike, rock climbing, guiding and a lot of other sports.
Besides traveling with clients, I sometimes go to the mountain alone or with my friends and son.
I offer courses for avalanche education, ski-mountaineering, rock and ice climbing. I also organize special team-building activities for clients and I’m used to working with young people and children.

What people are saying about Eduard Kuro
Erato
Overall it's a good trip since I made it to the peak. ;-) The only thing not feeling very well during the hiking/climbing is the time pressure (due to the schedule of the mountain taxi), so sometimes it felt a bit too pushy or stressed. The guide is very experience mountain guide and rescuer, and that's why he could be a bit bossy sometimes. But in the end I still appreciate all his effort and help and patience to make us a successful and safe trip. :-)
