Skalnaté pleso (1751m) is a lake located in the
High Tatras mountains in the north of
Slovakia.
The highest wind speed ever recorded in
Slovakia was recorded here on 29 November 1965, when a wind with the speed of 78,6 m/s (283 km/h) was recorded.
In November 2021, there was a rare occurrence, as Pleso dried out entirely. This was the result of a dry period, as it is filled solely by precipitation, and continued evaporation. The lake has refilled since.
