Vysoké Tatry (High Tatra) - Slovakia

Extent: 74111 ha

In north part of Slovakia, along borders with Poland, in districts of Kežmarok, Liptovský Mikuláš, Poprad and Tvrdošín, there is situated mountain range of special character – High Tatra. It belongs, together with Belianske Tatra, to complex of East Tatra Mountains.

Highest peak: Gerlachovka (2655 m).

Surface: it is formed with dense forests, pine woods. In higher sites, there are to be found dwarfish pine woods, plough-tails and lichens. Alp-meadows are located in places where the trees are missing.

Climate: mostly cold, 0 Celsius degrees. The snow remains on surface nearly all year round, on some places does not thaw at all.

Mountain nucleus is formed with granites and crystalic slates, on surface with limestones and sandstones, with appearance of quartz.

Mountain relief is very rough, including steep shields and combs.

We find here caves with karst appearances, waterfalls, lakes (plesa), healing springs, rare plants and many animals, in form of great mammalia.

High Tatra Mountains were declared as Tatra National Park in 1948. Later, in 1993, declared as biospherical reservation within scope of international UNESCO programme.

SK, High Tatra – Unique Ice Temple
heading (paragraph): Places Of Interest
No. of pictures: 19 pictures

Truly extraordinary structure in Hrebienok, the High Tatras is to be seen this winter. Its unique feature is that it is made of ice. We talk about the Tatranian ice done. As decoration there are Baroque-style ice statues and reliefs as well as stained glass made of ice displaying flowers. This work of urt is under a special domelike roof protecting it from unfavorable weather. Our photogallery takes you inside these 70 tons of ice. A remarkable experience.
