From Propad to Tatranska Lomnica:

The easiest way to get to the hotel Tatranska Lomnica is to take a taxi from Poprad. The price should be close to 20 euro maximum. We will, however, organize transport for groups of participants (or maybe also for single ones). We will let you know in February(!!! see below).

There is a cheaper but a bit less convenient alternative. From the second station of Poprad, which is called Poprad-Spiš.Sobota (it is the final stop of the train coming from Bratislava) one can take train to Studeny Potok, it takes 10 min, then there is direct connection to Tatranska Lomnica (3min for train change) with duration of 12 mins to Tatranská Lomnica, exit there. The trains go every 30 min, price should be small (cca 2€). At end one has to walk to the hotel.
