Hiking in the Slovak High Tatras: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Native fauna

Many rare and endemic plants and animals are native to the High Tatras. Large predators such as the bear, the European lynx, marten, wolf and fox live here. You may meet some of them in your hiking expedition.

Mini Alps

The High Tatras have the typical high mountain features, but with greater accessibility due to the small size of the mountains and the excellent network of hiking trails. The Slovak High Tatras are also known as "the smallest high mountain in the world".

For all tastes

In the Slovak High Tatras you can find dense coniferous forests, granite rock walls, glacial lakes enclosed in rocky-walled circuses and imposing peaks, which form a unique, varied and ideal setting for hiking.

We suggest you go to the town of Poprad located on the slopes of the Tatra Mountains. You can get there by train from the main cities of the country (Bratislava and Kosice). Or by car, since the largest highway in Slovakia reaches Propad. Finally, there is a bus to other important cities such as Bratislava, Kosice and Levoca. You can also use the bus to Tatranská Lomnica from the Starý Smokovec bus station, and visit other locations in the Tatras.
