The Tatra Mountains are a mountain range located on the border between Poland and Slovakia. The Tatra National Park was created in 1955 to protect the beautiful nature of the Tatra Mountains. It covers an area of almost 22,000 hectares. About two and a half million people visit it annually, and in 1993 it was included in the list of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. The area of the Tatra National Park hides great treasures of beautiful wildlife such as the Valley of Five Lakes with beautiful lakes left by melting glaciers. Getting there may not be the easiest, but it's certainly worth the views! You'll also encounter the largest waterfall in the Polish Tatra Mountains - Siklawa. The more persistent can climb the peaks of Giewont or Kasprowy Wierch (where you can also go by cableway), or the highest peak of the Tatra Mountains - Rysy. The most famous and characteristic is Giewont - looking like a sleeping knight! Less demanding are walks through the valleys - Chocholowska, Koscieliska or Strążyska Valley. They are easier to walk through, which does not mean that they are less charming, on the contrary! The Tatras are beautiful at any time of the year. Animal species that occur naturally in the Tatra National Park include the Tatra chamois, the Tatra marmot, but also the lynx, the golden eagle and the brown bear, which is a dangerous wild animal and best not to get in its way. Remember to follow the marked trails when visiting the park - we are the guests in this area.
