The Tatras are the highest mountain range in Slovakia, Poland and the Carpathians. They were formed during Alpine orogeny in the younger Tertiary and in the Quaternary they were modeled by glaciers during ice ages. As the only Carpathian mountain range, they have an Alpine character. They are divided into three sub-units, the highest Eastern Tatras (with two parts, the High and Belianske Tatras), the slightly lower Western Tatras (with several parts, including the Roháče or Liptovské Tatras) and the northern Reglowe Tatras, separated into a separate mesoregion in the Polish division in 2018. The High Tatras are therefore not a separate mountain range/unit within the division of the Carpathians, but only part of a sub-unit. The Low Tatras, on the other hand, are separate and do not belong to the Tatras, even though their name would suggest so. The highest mountain is Gerlachovský štít (2655 m).
