About this place
Tatra National Park (TPN) in Zakopane is the most visited national park in Poland and the country's only alpine mountain range. Covering 215.56 km², it forms a natural border between Poland and Slovakia; together with its Slovak counterpart it is a UNESCO transboundary biosphere reserve. Rysy peak (2,499 m), the highest point in Poland, lies within the park boundaries. More than 270 km of marked trails cross five vegetation zones — beech-fir forests, spruce woods, subalpine meadows, and alpine flora with Swiss pine and edelweiss. Wildlife includes Tatra chamois, Alpine marmot, brown bear, Eurasian lynx, and grey wolf. Summer draws hikers and climbers; winter brings skiers.
