Popradská kotlina, Valley formation in Poprad District, Slovakia.

The Popradská kotlina extends across the eastern section of the Podtatranská basin, with the High Tatras and Tatra foothills marking its western boundary.

During archaeological excavations in Gánovce, researchers discovered a significant Neanderthal skull cast within the travertine mining deposits of the basin.

The valley connects multiple regional centers including Svit, Poprad, Kežmarok, Spišská Belá, and Podolínec, each contributing to the local traditions and heritage.

The basin features the international European road 50 and the Žilina-Košice rail line, providing essential transportation links through northern Slovakia.

Natural mineral springs emerge at locations such as Starý Smokovec and Gánovce, while thermal springs surface in Vrbov, Poprad, and Gerlachov.
