Tatra National Park

The national park spans 738 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring over 100 alpine lakes and numerous waterfalls within the Tatra Mountains range.

Established on January 1, 1949, Tatra National Park became Slovakia's first protected area, with the Western Tatras section added to its territory in 1987.

The Gerlachovsky peak, reaching 2,655 meters, stands as Slovakia's highest mountain point and represents a central element of national identity.

Between November 1 and June 15, high-altitude trails remain closed, while guided tours beyond marked paths operate from June 16 through October 31.

The park contains the Belianska Cave system, the sole publicly accessible cave among 300 underground formations within the protected boundaries.
