The highest peak of the High Tatras, Slovakia, and the entire Carpathians
The highest peak of the Earth is Mount Everest, the highest peak in Europe is Mont Blanc, and the highest peak in Slovakia? Indeed, it's Gerlachovský štít, which, due to its beautiful mountainous scenery, accessibility, and height, is one of the most visited peaks of the High Tatras. It stands at 2,655 meters, and climbing it is only permitted with an experienced mountain guide. The route: the mountain hotel Sliezsky dom is reached by a path alongside the 15-meter-high Velický waterfall from the valley trail Kvetnica. From there, one must take a left onto an unmarked path that leads to Velická próba, which is usually the ascent route to Gerlachovský štít. The descent is done carefully, slowly along Batizovská próba.The highest peak of the Earth is Mount Everest, the highest peak in Europe is Mont Blanc, and the highest peak in Slovakia?
