The plateau above Štrbské pleso is called Predna pol'ana. Following the emancipation of serfs in 1848, it became common property of the peasants of Štrba. We are now standing near the entrance into Mlynická dolina. From here we can see, even better than in item 14.4, the gorgeous vodopad Skok, or Veil Falls, in the middle of the valley. - Bibliography: Vysoké Tatry 1976. - For information on Štrbské pleso, see:
