Rakytovske plieska su najnizsie polozenymi plieskami Tatier v nadmorskej vyske 1307 metrov. Patria k malym, avsak nie k najmensim plesam. Vysne Rakytovske pliesko je 95 metrov dlhe a 34 metrov siroke. Nizne Rakytovske pliesko je 55 metrov dlhe a 33 metrov siroke. Hlboke su asi dva metre, cim sa zaraduju ku plytkym plesam. V porovnani s vyzsie polozenymi plesami maju Rakytovske plieska vyzsiu teplotu vody (v lete pri povrchu okolo 15 – 16 °C). Na druhej strane su ovela kyslejsie. Hodnota pH vody okolo 3,8 je vobec najnizsia, aka sa v tatranskych plesach doposial zistila.
English version:
Rakytovske Plieska tarns situated in 1307 meters above see level are the lowest located tarns in the Tatra Mountains. They belong to small tarns but they are not the smallest ones. The upper tarn is 95 m long and 34 m wide. The lower one is 55 m long and 33 m wide. Both are about 2 meters deep, which means that we can consider them as shallow. In comparison with the mountain lakes located in higher altitude water of Rakytovske Plieska tarns is warmer (during the summer the temperature under the water surface is about 15-16 °C). On the other hand it is also much more acidic, pH value is about 3,8. So far it has been the lowest pH value detected in the Tatra Mountains lakes.
