The most beautiful and highest peaks of the High Tatras
It is said that the High Tatras are the smallest mountains in the world. Even so, you will find the highest peaks of the entire Carpathian arch.

You can get to the highest peak – Gerlachovský štít with a guide and to the second highest – Lomnický štít again by cable car.

Koprovský štít
Shield in the middle of the mountains
Koprovský štít 2363m is located in the heart of the High Tatras. The views are of the surrounding peaks and valleys and one can feel like in the middle of a rocky wilderness.

On the way I walk around the Great Hincov Lake, the largest lake in the Tatras. continue reading

Thanks to its technical simplicity, families with small children can also go for it. From the top there are beautiful views of Kriváň and Mlýnická dolina continue reading
