Low TatraThe Low Tatra or Low Tatras (Slovak Nzke Tatry) is a mountain range in central eastern Slovakia. It is located south of the High Tatra, from which it is separated by the valley of the Vah river. The valley of the important Hron river flows to the south of the Low Tatra. The ridge runs west-eastwards and is about 80 km long. The mountains are densely forested. Most of the area is protected as the Low Tatra National Park (Nrodn park Nzke Tatry, abbreviated NAPANT) established in 1978. The highest mountains of the Low Tatra are located in its western part. The Ďumbier rises to 2,042 m. Its neighbour, the Chopok is only a little bit lower (2,024 m) and accessible by a chairlift, therefore being the most frequented place of the mountains. Further east the mountains are much lower, but rise again at the eastern end to the peak of Krľova hoľa (1,946 m). External links
