The Low Tatras National Park (Chopok and Machnate) photos

The Chopok peak is the second highest peak in the NP Low Tatras (2024 m). It is situated between the hills of Dereše and Konské. Its northern slopes consist of very steep broken walls that in the north-eastern side steeply fall down to the Lukova dolina (Lukova Valley). The valley has a lot of glacier moraines, a lake and granite blocks in the south. On the top of the Chopok peak, there is a sc. Kamenná Chata (Stony Chalet), as well as a TV and meteorological station. From the top you would have breathtaking panoramatic view of High Tatras, Liptov and the valley of Hron. There are excellent terrains for skiing - many different difficult ski-running tracks, a cabin funicular, seat elevators, ski tows and lots of posibillities for skialpinists and rockclimbers as well.
