The major part of the High Tatra National Park is located in Slovakia and extends to Poland. It is a splendid mountain landscape with high, rocky mountains and many lakes, was founded in 1947 and given the nickname, Crown Of Slovakia.

A healthy tree population surrounds crystal clear mountain lakes and flora which came into existence at the end of the Last Ice Age.

Wild boars roam freely in the extensive natural landscape. This is their natural environment in which there is a plentiful supply of food.

Chamois can also be seen on the mountain slopes, and in summer between fifteen and thirty of them live in herds, which disband in winter. The high mountains are their retreat, and when they feel threatened they move up to inaccessible heights.

The Tatra Railway travels from Štrbské Pleso Station which connects a number of the Tatra region’s spa resorts. The railway has become an indispensable means of transport for growing Tatra tourism. After several short stops is the oldest Tatra community of Strarý Smokovec and along the main road there are charming old villas in half-timbered style.

Impressive cloud formations provide views of Lomnitz Peak, the third highest peak of the High Tatra. On the northern edge of Tatranská Lomnica, is a cable car station. Initially, it travels slightly uphill and the first section leads to a mountain station. In winter, there are snow-covered mountain slopes and, in summer, easy hiking trails.

The Tatra Nature Park is the embodiment of pure nature, undisturbed tranquillity, indigenous wildlife and, above all, majestic mountains!
