'''Tatra Mountains'''

The '''Tatra Mountains''', or simply the '''Tatras''' ({{lang-pl|Tatry}}, {{lang-sk|Tatry}}), are a [[mountain range]] that form a natural border between [[Slovakia]] and [[Poland]]. They are the highest mountain range in the [[Carpathian Mountains]]. The Tatras should be distinguished from the [[Low Tatras]] (Slovak: Nízke Tatry) which are located south of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.

== Geography ==

The Tatra Mountains occupy an area of 785 square kilometres (303 sq mi), of which about 610 square kilometres (236 sq mi) (77.7%) lie within Slovakia and about 175 square kilometres (68 sq mi) (22.3%) on the territory of Poland. The highest peak, called [[Gerlach]], at 2,655 m (8710 ft) is located north of [[Poprad]]. The highest point in Poland, [[Rysy]], at 2,499 m (8200 ft) is located south of [[Zakopane]].

== Geology ==

The Tatras are a mountain range of a [[fault-block]] type, originating from the [[Alpine orogeny]], and therefore characterized by a relatively young and high relief. They consist mainly of [[granite]], [[gneiss]], and [[limestone]].

== Flora and Fauna ==

The Tatra Mountains are home to a rich variety of [[flora]] and [[fauna]]. They are particularly known for the [[Tatra chamois]], a type of goat-antelope, and the [[Tatra marmot]], a large ground squirrel. The region is also home to a number of endemic plant species, including the Tatra scurvy-grass and the Tatra bellflower.

== Tourism ==

The Tatra Mountains are a popular destination for [[hiking]], [[skiing]], [[mountaineering]] and [[wildlife watching]]. The two main resorts for these activities are Zakopane in Poland and Poprad in Slovakia.
