More Info
Slovakia is a small landlocked country in central Europe. The south of the country is dominated by the Danube River plains, so you have to head to the north, toward the Polish border to find the most exciting outdoor adventure spot.
Here is where the High Tatras Mountains are located. The High Tatras are the tallest peaks of the Carpathian Range, which stretches all the way into Romania.
They are truly a special range, boasting several National Parks, the highest peak in the Carpathians – Mount Gerlach (2.655 meters) – and a UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves!
Along with being an excellent venue for all types of outdoor sport, from hiking to ice climbing, the mountains are home to numerous unique forms of wildlife and serve as the cradle for central European high altitude culture. Don’t miss your chance to explore this truly unique spot!
