The Tatra Mountains, Tatras or Tatra (''Tatry'' either in Polish () and in Slovak () - ''plurale tantum''), are a mountain range that form a natural border between Slovakia and Poland. They are the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains. The Tatras should be distinguished from the Low Tatras ((スロバキア語:Nízke Tatry)) which are located south of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia. The Tatra Mountains occupy an area of , of which about (77.7%) lie within Slovakia and about (22.3%) on the territory of Poland. The highest peak called Gerlach, at 2,655 m (8710 ft) is located north of Poprad. The highest point in Poland, Rysy, at 2,499 m (8200 ft) is located south of Zakopane. The Tatras' length, measured from the eastern foothills of the Kobyli Wierch (1109 m) to the southwestern foot of Ostry Wierch Kwaczański (1128 m), in a straight line is (or according to some),〔 and strictly along the main ridge, . The range is only wide. The Tatras' main ridge leads from Huciańska Pass (905 m) in the west to Zdziarska Pass (1081 m) to the east. The Tatras are protected by law by the establishment of the Tatra National Park, Poland and the Tatra National Park, Slovakia, with membership in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO. ==Overview== The Tatras are a mountain range of a corrugated nature, originating from the Alpine orogeny, and therefore characterized by a relatively young-look lay of the land, quite similar to the landscape of the Alps, although significantly smaller. It is the highest mountain range within Carpathians. It consists of the internal mountain chains of: * Western Tatras ((スロバキア語:Západné Tatry), (ポーランド語:Tatry Zachodnie)) * Eastern Tatras (''Východné Tatry'', ''Tatry Wschodnie''), which in turn consist of: * * the High Tatras (''Vysoké Tatry'', ''Tatry Wysokie'') * * and Belianske Tatras (''Belianske Tatry'', ''Tatry Bielskie'') The overall nature of the Tatras, together with their easy accessibility, makes them a favorite with tourists and researchers. Therefore, these mountains are a popular winter sports area, with resorts such as Zakopane, called also "winter capital of Poland", Poprad and the town Vysoké Tatry (The Town of High Tatras) in Slovakia created in 1999, including former separate resorts: Štrbské Pleso, Starý Smokovec, and Tatranská Lomnica. The High Tatras, with their 24 (or 25) peaks exceeding 2,500 m above sea level, together with the Southern Carpathians, represent the only form of alpine landscape in the entire length of arc of the Carpathians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tatra Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
