Slovakia is best known internationally for the High Tatras, whose granite summits form the country’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is the highest peak in Slovakia and in the Carpathians. The Danube runs past Bratislava, where Bratislava Castle stands on a hill above the river, linking the capital to Central Europe’s major waterway. Beyond the cities, forests, karst terrain and small historic towns define much of the country. Slovakia’s long folk tradition is also represented by the fujara, a large shepherd’s flute recognised by UNESCO.
