TATRAS

About

The Tatra Mountains, Tatras, are a series of mountains within the Western Carpathians that form a natural border between Slovakia and Poland. They are the highest mountains in the Carpathians. The Tatras are distinct from the Low Tatras, a separate Slovak mountain range further south. The Tatra Mountains occupy an area of 785 square kilometres, of which about 610 square kilometres lie within Slovakia and about 175 square kilometres within Poland. The highest peak, called Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is located north of Poprad, entirely in Slovakia. The highest point in Poland, Rysy, at 2,500 metres, is located south of Zakopane, on the border with Slovakia. The Tatras' length, measured from the eastern foothills of the Kobylí vrch to the southwestern foot of Ostrý vrch, in a straight line, is 57 km, and strictly along the main ridge, 80 km. The range is only 19 km wide. Read more
