About
Quick facts: The Tatra National Park covers more than 800 square kilometers, providing a home to over 1,400 plant species and 50 mammal species. It is home to the Tatras' highest peak, Gerlach Mountain, with a height of 2,655 meters.
Highlights: The park's glacial lakes appear in various colors that change throughout the day due to light and air humidity. A common phenomenon is also the nighttime echo of mountain sounds, which fills the valley with a special mystique.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable hiking shoes, as the terrain can be rocky and slippery.
- Great photo opportunities open up by the lakes and near the high mountain peaks.
- Avoid peak season on public holidays and weekends to enjoy a more peaceful hiking experience.
- Bring a water bottle and a light snack, as dining options in the park are limited.
