Veľká Fatra National Park

Veľká Fatra National Park is a protected mountain wilderness in central Slovakia, encompassing most of the Greater Fatra Range within the Outer Western Carpathians. Established in 2002 as an upgrade of a protected landscape area first designated in 1972, the park covers approximately 40,400 hectares of rugged mountain terrain. The park is distinguished by its extensive Carpathian beech forests, which cover roughly 90% of the area, alongside historic ridge-top pastures dating to the Walachian colonisation period of the 15th to 17th centuries. The landscape features remarkable geological diversity with granite cores, limestone and dolomite formations creating dramatic cliffs and karst terrain, including the publicly accessible Harmanec Cave. The national park serves as a vital refuge for all three of Central Europe's large carnivores and holds significant ecological importance as a freshwater reservoir.
