Carpathian Mountains

Central European mountain system, forming a semicircle through Slovakia–Poland–Ukraine–Moldova–Romani a, 1,450 km/900 mi long. The central Tatra Mountains on the Slovak–Polish frontier include the highest peak, Gerlachovka, 2,663 m/8,737 ft. The Carpathians are rich in minerals and timber, and the cold winters and hot summers make the region a year-round resort.
