Lo mejor de las Altas Tatras

High Tatras Essentials

The High Tatras contain Gerlachovský štít, the highest peak in the Carpathian Mountains, alongside iconic granite summits like Kriváň and Lomnický štít. The region is defined by over 100 glacial lakes, including the 53-meter-deep Veľké Hincovo pleso and the accessible Štrbské pleso. Notable landmarks include the Belianska stalactite cave and a system of historic alpine huts, such as Rainerova chata, the range's oldest, and the high-altitude Téryho chata.
