SK, Tatras – Tourist Book Guide Introducing Many Points of Interest

The publication Tatry presents the most beautiful Slovakian mountains as you do not know them. The quantity of illustrative material combined with eye-catching text and interesting graphics will attract not only permanent visitors to the Tatras, but also those who are just beginning to discover them.

The book is logically divided into Eastern and Western Tatras and includes chapters on history, nature, culture and tourism. There are also tips for hiking, cycling and practical information. More than 500 photographs, maps, pictures and illustrations complement the image of the Tatras, yet untreated. The author of the publication is Juraj Kucharík.

The tourist guide will take you through the most beautiful corner of Slovakia, as Tatras excel in comparison with other Slovak mountains. You will learn that they are Europe's highest inland mountain range in the area between the Alps, the Caucasus, the Urals and the Arctic Ocean, and that the territory of the Slovak part is approximately 1.7 times the size of Bratislava or 1.2 times the size of Prague, and in a small area you can find high peaks, glacial valleys, waterfalls, promes, rich flora or wildlife.

Tatran fauna is often formed by endemic species (Tatra chamois, Tatra mountain marmot and Tatras vole, are also glacial relics, i.e. ice age organisms). Furthermore, you will find protected areas, promenades, caves, spas, mountain huts and unconventional transport (cog railway, tram, funicular railway, cable cars).

Toto vysokohorské pohoří má i řadu nej. Kromě toho, že Tatry jsou nejvyšším pohořím na Slovensku a nachází se zde největší i nejhlubší slovenské jezero, patří k nejchladnějším územím v zemi. Z výškových rekordů zmíníme nejvyšší vrchol Gerlachovský štít, nejvyšší lanovkou dostupný vrchol Lomnický štít, na jehož vrcholu se nachází nejvýše položené obydlené místo, observatoř, stanice lanovky i malá botanická zahrada. Zároveň jsou Tatry nejnavštěvovanější částí Slovenska.
