Editor's Choice: High Tatras

The High Tatras feature a diverse range of alpine landscapes, from Gerlachovský štít, the highest peak in the Carpathian Mountains, to Veľké Hincovo pleso, the range's largest and deepest glacial lake. This selection covers accessible summits like Slavkovský štít and Rysy, alongside the Belianska Cave, the only cave in the region open to the public. Hikers can find refuge in historic alpine huts such as Téryho and Zamkovského, or explore the cascades of the Cold Stream and the Great Waterfall near Starý Smokovec.
