I simply don't have enough of mountains, so here I go again with my series of the panoramic views showing the majestic High Tatras, located in the heart of Europe – Slovakia. As you no doubt remember my previous travel tip here at my personal portfolio website was about locality of the Lomnicke Saddle, situated right under the Lomnicky and Kezmarsky peaks, showing hand-held panorama portraying these marvelous mountains from the low-angle perspective.
Today, I thought to myself that I will share with you also the view which can be seen from the top of one of these peaks; from the Lomnicky peak, showing distant outlook of surrounding countryside and endless cloudscape.
Same as the last time, this photo comes from the set that I have taken in February of the year 2008, during an ice-freezing cold winter standing right at the top of the Lomnicky peak. This peak has an impressive altitude of 2634 meters / 8641 feet above the sea-level, which makes it actually the second highest peak in the High Tatra mountains!
A picture you can see is a hand-held panorama stitched from 6 horizontal photos, showing quite wide outlook of Slovak and Polish High Tatras. It is because the High Tatras are a mountain range along the border of northern Slovakia, and southern Poland, whereas the borderline can be imagined somewhere in the center of this picture, thus Poland can be seen on the left side of this panorama whereas Slovakia is on the right side.
The Lomnicky peak, which is situated on the Slovak side of High Tatras is a very attractive destination for visitors from all around the world. Especially during the winter time! It is popular even for the recreational tourists due to its easy accessibility by several cable railways leading from its top as far as to the Lomnicke saddle and further down to the Tatranska Lomnica town, and vice versa.
The High Tatra mountins are actually the highest mountain range in the whole Carpathian Mountains, so tourists have a lot of natural attractions and landscapes to explore. These mountains are visited by hundreds of thousands visitors each year, during all seasons. They belong to the Tatras national park, TANAP.
If you happen to be in Slovakia during the wintertime don’t miss marvelous sightseeings from the Lomnicky peak and other hills located in the High Tatras mountain chain, Slovakia.
I am an enthusiast photographer walking my own path in stock photography genre. Taking photos of landscapes, natural sceneries and animals is what I prefer to do at my spare time. Architecture and cultural heritage pictures such as pictures of castles, historical towns or outdoor museums are my passion too. Although I still feel as an hobbyist photographer, I successfully sell my photos trough world's leading stock photography agencies for years anyway. The commercial success of my photography works was, and still is, really an interesting experience for me since the beginning.
