Stunning beauty. This pond has been admired by Tatra tourists since the 19th century. The name "black" comes from the color of the water here - from the shadow cast by the mountain peaks and by the cyanobacteria covering the local boulders.

Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy

Highlight • Lake

oasis of peace😍One of the largest ponds in the Tatras - Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy took its name from the black color that arises from the shadow cast by Kościelec. Getting to the pond from the Gąsienicowa Valley is not difficult, and the distance is worth overcoming, because resting by the water's surface or looking at the surrounding peaks compensates for every effort.
