They occupy an area of 750&nbsp;km², the major part (600&nbsp;km²) of which lies in Slovakia. The highest Tatra peak, at 2655&nbsp;m, is [[Gerlachovský štít]], located in Slovakia. [[Rysy]], at 2499&nbsp;m, is the highest Polish peak. The Tatra Mountains are the highest mountain range in the [[Carpathian Mountains]]. Although considerably smaller than the [[Alps]], they are classified as having an alpine landscape. Their high mountain character, combined with great accessibility, makes them popular with tourists and scientists. == Bibliography == Ján Lacika, ''Tatras'' (2nd edition), Bratislava 2006. {{ISBN|80-88975-95-6}} == Other websites == {{commonscat|Tatra Mountains}} * [http://www.tatry.sk/ Town of Vysoké Tatry] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190522082753/http://www.tatry.sk/ |date=2019-05-22 }} – municipal website * [http://www.zakopane.pl/ Zakopane] – municipal website * [http://www.tanap.org/en/ TANAP] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050404064007/http://tanap.org/en/ |date=2005-04-04 }} – Slovak Tatra National Park * [http://www.tpn.pl/ TPN] – Polish Tatra National Park {{in lang|pl}} === Commercial tourism-oriented websites === * [http://www.tatry.cz/international/english.php Tatry.cz] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012172348/http://tatry.cz/international/english.php |date=2007-10-12 }} – travel guide (mainly Slovak side) * [http://www.go-zakopane.com/en/main.php?tmp_r=1 Go-Zakopane.com]{{Dead link|date=February 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} – travel guide (mainly Polish side) === Mountaineering === * [http://oqdos.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=72&Itemid=30 Tatr
