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 Tatras - To the Cottage by Zelené pleso
heading (paragraph): Hills
No. of pictures: 28 pictures

It was a one nice winter day when we set out to the High Tatras . As our goal we chose the Cottage by Zelené pleso. After we parked our car on a paid parking lot we descended for 2 hours along the valley of Bílá voda. On our road we learned that the valley was a protected natural area since 1991. Its natural wealth was covered with snow but we didnt regret. A look itself on snowy trees, creeks full of bizarre shapes and icy shields were an unusual experience for us. After more than two hours of a nice walk on a slightly ascending road we spot our goal- the Cottage by Zelené pleso where we had rested for a while. The road back took us less time. An adrenalin in our veins was caused by skiers and cross country skiers who zipped along us from time to time. Frozen and pleasantly tired we reached our car in good health. Lets go with us to this white beauty of the Tatras.
