Mengusovce: Hotels, Hiking and the High Tatras

Mengusovce lies at the foot of the High Tatras and combines a clearly defined mountain setting with natural areas, hiking trails, historic buildings and regional events. The village lies at 825 metres above sea level; the highest part of the cadastral area of Mengusovce is located at 1,040 metres. The surrounding area offers very beautiful views of the High and Low Tatras. Mengusovce also lies in the protected zone of the Tatra National Park.

Nature

North of Mengusovce lies the Jelšina Nature Reserve, which protects natural stands. Southeast of the village is the Bôrik Nature Reserve. Both areas are among the designated natural areas around Mengusovce and complement its location at the foot of the High Tatras with clearly defined protected spaces.

Hiking

There are opportunities for hiking in Mengusovce. The Batizovce–Gerlachov–Mengusovce–Štôla educational and hiking trail is intended for the general public. It is also suitable for less experienced hikers, as well as children and older people. The trail description therefore explicitly refers to different levels of experience and age groups, without restricting the trail to a specific target group.

Another established feature is the Kimbiark educational trail. It is 13 kilometres long and leads via Bôrik to the outskirts of Mengusovce near the cemetery. Its route thus connects the aforementioned Bôrik area with the outskirts of the village and ends at a precisely designated point near the cemetery.

Transport connections

A regular bus service runs via Mengusovce between Poprad, Svit, Vyšné Hágy and Štrbské Pleso, and back. For passenger trains, the Lučivná Kúpele stop is 1.5 kilometres from Mengusovce. In Vyšné Hágy, it is possible to transfer to the electric railway. The connections mentioned therefore include bus services through several places, a nearby passenger train stop and a transfer to the electric railway in Vyšné Hágy.

Culture

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle in Mengusovce was remodelled in the Baroque style in the 18th century. The Evangelical church in Mengusovce is a Neoclassical building dating from 1840. The village also preserves an Early Gothic baptismal font from the 13th century, as well as a painted wooden ceiling from the 18th century.

The local events calendar includes Mengusovské rodeo, a regularly held equestrian event with Western-style competitions. On 22 November 2025, Mengusovce also hosted a cooking competition for kapustnica, a Slovak cabbage soup.

The services included, individual price components, and the booking and cancellation conditions can also be compared. The information on an offer page should clearly indicate which costs are already included and which are charged additionally. Different room types or stay conditions may also differ from one another there. A matter-of-fact comparison of these fields helps identify the information relevant to your own stay without presupposing the characteristics of a specific accommodation.
