Tatra Mountains are the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains – a natural border between Slovakia and Poland with the highest point in Poland: Rysy, at 2499 meters. Zakopane, a town at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, is a center of highlanders culture. Visitors are amazed by the view over the Valley of the Five Lakes but also by the unique architecture where houses are all constructed from wood without the use of metal nails and traditionally every building has its own name. The Tatras are protected as the Tatra National Park.
