High Tatras

城市概覽

High Tatras belong to the Tatranský Národný Park (TANAP). They are registered in UNESCO because many protected animals and plants are found in High Tatras. High Tatras consist of peaks, mountain lakes and basins. The highest peaks are Gerlachovský štít (2,655 m (8,711 ft)), Kriváň (2,494 m (8,182 ft)), Rysy (2,499 m (8,199 ft)) and Lomnický štít (2,632 m (8,635 ft)). Gerlachovský štít is the highest peak in Slovakia and the Carpathian Mountains rising to 2,655 m (8,711 ft) above the sea level. In November 2004 a huge storm destroyed a part of the forest and disturbed natural fauna and flora, but most of the damage has been cleared away. The trees that used to protect the soil from erosion are gone now and the topsoil is being exposed to rain and erosion. The disaster did not have such catastrophic impact on tourism, and all ski centers, hotels and cottages go on providing their services. Poprad, a town stretching below High Tatras, offers a beautiful town center, various types of accommodation, small air port for tourists and incredible view at High Tatras scenery.
