Low Tatras National Park

The park extends across 728 square kilometers through central Slovakia, featuring deep canyons, steep cliffs, mountain peaks, and dense forests with beech and maple trees.

Established as a protected area in 1978, the park underwent boundary modifications in 1997 to enhance environmental preservation, becoming Slovakia's largest national park.

The central ridge trail connecting Chopok and Dumbier summits represents traditional Slovak mountaineering routes with views extending over half the country.

Visitors can access the park through Demänovská Valley in the north at Jasná resort or through mountain passes at Donovaly and Čertovica.

The park contains an extensive network of karst formations, including the Demänovské Cave system, while providing habitat for bears, lynx, and wolves.
