Berggipfel in der Tatra

Majestic Mountain Peaks

The High Tatras contain the highest elevations of the Carpathian Mountains, centered around Gerlachovský štít at 2,655 meters. This range features diverse terrain, from the cable-car accessible Lomnický štít to the symbolic Kriváň peak. Notable landmarks include the cross-border summit of Rysy and glacial formations like Skalnaté pleso. Hikers can access several summits via marked trails, including Slavkovský štít and Kôprovský štít, while technical ridges like Wołowy Grzbiet define the border between Poland and Slovakia.
