The East Slovakia / High Tatra Mountains region


The High Tatras national park is the most beautiful in Slovakia. The High Tatras became the country’s first national park in 1948 and includes the mountain chains of Belianske Tatry and Západné Tatry (Western Tatras), their length of 55 km making them one of the smallest mountain ranges of alpine character in Europe.
The High Tatras national park has an area of 73,800 ha., with 30,703 ha forming a buffer zone, and penetrates into the districts of Liptovský Mikuláš, Poprad, Kežmarok and Tvrdošín. The highest summit of the High Tatras, and of the whole Carpathians, is Mt. Gerlachovský štít, at 2655 m. whilst the symbolic national peak of Slovakia, also located in this national park, is Mt. Kriván 2495 m. high.
The Presovsky / Stary Smokovec area
Almost two thirds of the national park are covered by forests, prevailingly spruce and fir-spruce. The dominant tree species is the spruce with a significant occurrence of Scots pine, Swiss pine, larch, and Swiss mountain pine. Deciduous forests – beech and maple growths - occur less frequently and mainly in the Belianske Tatry.
The High Tatras are mostly granite, the Western Tatras mostly of crystalline slates and the Belianske Tatry mostly limestone. There are 110 lakes, or mountain tarns in the park, which have been formed in glacial kettles. The deepest tarn is Velké Hincovo pleso, with a maximum depth of 54 m.
From among the park’s many waterfalls, the biggest is Kmetov waterfall, 80 m high. In the High Tatras area there are many karst formations, though the only cave accessible to the public here is Belianska jaskyna (1750 m long) with its fascinating stalactite-stalagmite decoration.

My English partner and I chose this apartment for our stay in the High Tatras and we could not have been happier. The apartment is equipped with everything we needed, even a dishwasher, to make the stay as relaxing as possible. The terrace was ideal for drinking wine in the sunset or coffee in the mornings, with a stunning view of the valley below. The location was perfect, so close to the tram connection that took us either to the Strbske Pleso resort or the lively Stary Smokovec/Tatranska Lomnica areas, that are full of great restaurants and pubs. The area is ideal for walking, cycling and some more serious hiking if you wish to do so. The silence and tranqulity of the High Tatras charmed us so much we are planning our wedding there next summer and we will definitely be recommending this apartment to our guests. |

Martin & Miranda..... Ski Feb 09
The apartment is wonderful, very spacious and fitted to a very high standard. We had wonderful weather it snowed most of the time so the kids loved it!
Good selection of skiing for all abilities and very reasonable.
Chris & Hayley, Jim and Anne, John and Jane.
The apartment was easily big enough for 6 adults and 2 children. We love Slovakia at last we have found somewhere it is possible to eat and drink and still be relaxed about the bill.
Tracey & Simon and the kids
Great holiday, it is so easy with Poprad airport only 20 mins away. Loved Aqua City to relax the aching limbs
