Tatranska Magistrala, Mountain hiking trail in High Tatras, Slovakia.
The Tatranska Magistrala extends 42 kilometers through the High Tatras mountains, spanning from Podbanské village to Velké Biele Pleso with elevation changes between 1200 and 2000 meters.
The trail network developed in the late 19th century when Slovak mountaineering organizations established routes connecting mountain shelters across the Tatra mountain range.
The path crosses through territories of Goral communities, mountain people who maintain traditional shepherding practices and folkloric customs in the High Tatras region.
The official hiking season operates from June 13 to October 31, with mountain huts providing accommodation and meals at regular intervals along the four-day journey.
Slovakia measures hiking distances in time rather than kilometers, with markers indicating walking duration between points considering the terrain difficulty and elevation changes.
