The rocks of the Tatra Mountains are mostly composed of granite and have been shaped in the ice age. The typical characteristics of the landscape include the U-form valleys, small mountain lakes, waterfalls and moraines. The landscape is very diverse and picturesque. The mountain lakes belong to the most beautiful characteristics of the Tatra Mountains. The most popular ones are the Lake Morskie Oko and the Lakes in the Valley of the Five Polish Lakes. All the hiking trails offer direct contact with nature and breathtaking views. Large parts of the Tatra Mountains are protected in form of a national park. The rich animal and plant life of Tatra is unique. The king of the mountains here is the brown bear that can still be found in the wild.
