Lonely Planet 2019

The High Tatras, Slovakia’s stunning mountainous region, was voted Europe’s No. 1 destination by Lonely Planet in 2019—a true badge of honour and a reason to add this spectacular region to your travel bucket list.

Described as “mythical” and “rugged,” the High Tatras offer pristine nature and unique wildlife, including rare species that have disappeared from most of Europe. Beyond wildlife watching, the region is a playground for adventure and relaxation alike.

Hike to the summit of Slovakia’s highest peak, Gerlachovský Štít (2,655 m), enjoy boating on the glacial lake of Štrbské Pleso, or experience the warmth of traditional high-altitude chaty (mountain huts). With so much to see and do, the High Tatras promise an unforgettable experience that may leave you reluctant to come back down to earth. >>> Read more
