Štrba railway station is located in the borough of Tatranská Štrba, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the centre of the village.
History
The station was opened in 8 December 1871 (1871-12-08), upon the commissioning of the KBD's Žilina–Poprad section. It became a junction when the rack railway opened in 1896.
Although the rack railway was closed in 1932 and lifted soon afterwards, it was reconstructed at the end of the 1960s, and reopened in 1970 in time for that year's FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.
Facilities
The three storey station building houses information and ticketing facilities, and a restaurant.
The standard gauge station yard has tracks equipped with low level platforms for passenger services, and tracks for freight workings and the stabling of rolling stock.
The current rack railway terminus is in an upper section of the station dating from the reconstruction of the rack railway in 1970.
