Tatra County, Administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Tatra County encompasses 471 square kilometers of territory along the Slovak border, including five municipalities with Zakopane serving as its administrative center.

The county emerged through Poland's administrative reforms, establishing its current structure on January 1, 1999, as part of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship reorganization.

The district contains multiple municipalities where residents maintain traditional Goral customs, including specific dialects, music traditions, and artisanal practices.

The district administration manages local services across five municipalities: Zakopane, Bukowina Tatrzańska, Poronin, Kościelisko, and Biały Dunajec.

The territory includes 211 square kilometers of Tatra National Park, forming part of a cross-border UNESCO biosphere reserve with neighboring Slovakia.
