The High Tatras form the highest range of the Carpathians, rising abruptly from the Poprad Basin to granite peaks above 2,600 metres. Lomnický štít, accessible by a historic cog railway and cable car, offers a high-altitude observatory and panoramic views extending on clear days to the Hungarian plain. The chain of valley lakes beneath the northern faces — including Štrbské Pleso, Popradské Pleso, and Skalnaté Pleso — rewards both casual walkers and serious alpinists.
