The Panorama of the High Tatras from the Seat of a Bicycle

The High Tatra national park is a world of rocky peaks, wild water falls, sea eyes, tourist and cycle tourist paths, ideal for medium expert cycle tourism. The length of the crest of the main range is 26.5 kilometers (16.5 miles). In the valleys lies more than 110 sea eyes and around them live rare endemic creatures: mountain goats and ground hogs. On our outings in the Tatra valleys, we shall feel the fresh air under the shadow of the Tatra peaks. Wherever a man casts a look, he will see the tips and peaks of the mountains and we shall see, also, the beauty of the Tatra caves. All the treks lead through the alpine terrain and their length is up to 15 kilometers (cca 9.5 miles), but considering their alpine terrain, they have steep elevations. On every trek await us crazy rides.
