Opis

The Tatra Mountains, Tatras or Tatra, are a mountain range that form a natural border between Slovakia and Poland. They are the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains. The Tatras should not be confused with the Low Tatras which are located south of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.The Tatra Mountains occupy an area of 785km², of which about 610km² lie within Slovakia and about 175km² on the territory of Poland. The highest peak, called Gerlach, at 2,655 m is located north of Poprad, entirely in Slovakia. The highest point in Poland, Rysy, at 2,499 m is located south of Zakopane, on the border with Slovakia.The Tatras' length, measured from the eastern foothills of the Kobylí vrch to the southwestern foot of Ostrý vrch, in a straight line is 57km, and strictly along the main ridge, 80km. The range is only 19km wide. The main ridge of the Tatras runs from the village of Huty at the western end to the village of Ždiar at the eastern end.The Tatras are protected by law by the establishment of the Tatra National Park, Slovakia and the Tatra National Park, Poland, which are jointly entered in UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves. In 1992 the Polish and Slovak parks were jointly designated a transboundary biosphere reserve by UNESCO in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves under its Man and the Biosphere Programme.
