Slovakia is heavily forested mountains cover much of the northern regions (Carpathian Mountains) and central regions (Ore Mountains) and slope downwards to the lowlands of the Danube river in the west and the Hornad river in the east as you can see in Slovakia physical map. There are multiple pristine lakes, particularly in the Tatra Mountains in the north (which also hold the highest point Gerlach Peak at 2,665m). This wild and beautiful landscape is where our Wolf and Lynx Tracking volunteer project is located in Slovakia and it gives you the opportunity to bask in the breathtaking scenery of the area. Slovakia is also the only European country outside of Scandinavia where you can find a natural geyser.

Slovakian surface is very irregular, characterized by lowlands, valleys, hills, highlands and mountain chains. The south and the south-east of the country of Slovakia are covered mostly by lowlands as its shwn in Slovakia physical map: Eastern Slovak Lowland, Záhorská Lowland and Danubian Lowland which is the most fertile and famous one. A great part of the Slovak territory is covered by protected landscape areas. Slovak topography is dominated by the Carpathian Mountains. Their well known mountain chains are: Slovak Ore Mountains; volcanic Štiavnica Mountains; Low Tatras, Greater Fatra and Lesser Fatra.

In the eastern part of the country of Slovakia lie the woodlands of the Carpathian Mountainsas its mentioned in Slovakia physical map. The breadbasket of Slovakia, the Podunajska Plain, lies further south along the Danube River. In the woodland regions oak, birch and spruce grow abundantly up to the tree line. Mountain pine and alpine vegetation grow above the tree line. Because the country lies on the crossroads of several different plant systems, unique flora abound. The entire territory of Slovakia is rich in fauna and most animal species live in the mountainous woodland regions.

As observed on the topographic map of Slovakia, the country has a highly mountainous topography. Heavily-forested, the rugged Ore Mountains and Tatra Mountains dominate the central regions of Slovakia, while the Carpathian Mountains cover its northern borders with the Czech Republic and Poland. The west (see Bratislava, Nitra) is flat, in the north, there is the vast region occupied by the Tatra Mountains, while the rest of the country is covered with hills and low mountains, which belong (like the same Tatras) to the vast region of the Carpathians. The tallest peaks are in the Tatra Mountains.

The topography of Slovakia is dominated by the western Carpathian Mountains, a system of three eastwest-trending ranges (Outer, Central, and Inner) that are separated by valleys and intermontane basins as you can see in Slovakia topographic map. There are also two large lowland areas, the Little Alfold in the southwest and the Eastern Slovakian Lowland in the east that make up the Slovakian portion of the Inner Carpathian Depressions region. The Central range across the middle of Slovakia includes the country highest mountains, the High Tatra Mountains, and the Low Tatra Mountains to the south, with elevations of about 6,500 feet (1,980 m). Farther to the south still, the Inner range extends into Hungary and contains the economically important Slovak Ore Mountains. The Little Alfold in the southwest is a fertile plain whose soil is drained by the Danube River and its tributaries, notably the Vah.

Slovakia is a land of beautiful, wide valleys, which were created by the Váh, Nitra, and Hron Rivers. Most of the land is drained by the Danube, the largest river in Slovakia, which empties into the Black Sea, and its tributaries (Morava, Váh, Hron and others) as its shown in Slovakia topographic map. The Dunajec River drains a smaller part of Slovakia; it is a tributary of the Visla, which empties into the Baltic Sea. The longest river in Slovakia is the Váh, which is 242 miles (390 kilometers).

The Slovakia elevation map shows the different altitudes of Slovakia. This altitude map of Slovakia will allow you to know where are the highest and lowest regions of Slovakia in Eastern Europe. The Slovakia elevation map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

The northernmost elevation point of Slovakia is near Beskydok, a mountain on the border with Poland near the village of Oravská Polhora in the Beskides. The southernmost point is near the village of Patince on the Danube on the border with Hungary. The westernmost point is on the Morava River near Záhorská Ves on the Austrian border as you can see in Slovakia elevation map. The easternmost point is close to the summit of Kremenec, a mountain near the village of Nová Sedlica at the meeting point of Slovak, Polish, and Ukrainian borders.

Gerlachovský štít is the highest peak in the High Tatras, in Slovakia, and in the whole 1,500 km (930 mi) long Carpathian mountain chain, as well as in northern and eastern Central Europe. Usually listed at 2,655 metres AMSL (8,711 ft), its exact elevation is actually 0.6 metres (2 ft) lower as its shown in Slovakia elevation map. The pyramidal shape of the massif is marked by a huge cirque. Despite its relatively low elevation, the about 2,000 m vertical rise from the valley floor makes Gerlachovský štít soar. Mistaken for an average mountain in the rugged High Tatras range in the more distant past, it has since played a symbolic role in the eyes of the rulers and populations of several Central European nations, to the point that between the 19th and mid-20th century, it had four different names with six name reversals. It managed to be the highest mountain of the Kingdom of Hungary, and of the countries of Czechoslovakia and Slovakia within the span of only about two decades of the 20th century.

The Bodrog is a river in eastern Slovakia and north-eastern Hungary. It is a tributary to the river Tisza. The Bodrog is formed by the confluence of the rivers Ondava and Latorica near Zemplin (village) in eastern Slovakia. It crosses the Slovak–Hungarian border at the village of Felsőberecki (near Sátoraljaújhely) in Hungary, and Streda nad Bodrogom in Slovakia, where it is also the lowest elevation point in Slovakia (94.3 m AMSL), and continues its flow through the Hungarian county Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, until it meets the river Tisza in Tokaj as its mentioned in Slovakia elevation map. A town along its course is Sárospatak, in Hungary. Its length is 67 km (15 in Slovakia, 52 in Hungary). Its watershed area is 13,579 km² of which 972 km² is in Hungary. The river is rich in fish.

Slovak territory is quite rich in river springs. There are also a number of rivers only flowing thorough Slovakia. Many rivers rise at foot of the Kralova Hola Mountain. Danube River is the major river flowing through the southern Slovakia. It drains into the Black Sea. Slovak rivers flow mainly to the Black and Baltic Sea watersheds. Tisza River runs to Slovakia from the East, Morava River from the West. Other Slovak rivers as you can see in Slovakia rivers map are: Nitra, Orava, Little Danube, Hron, Hornad, Slana, Bodrog, Latorica, Ondava, etc. River Ipel forms a natural boundary between Slovakia and Hungary.

Slovakian longest river is called the Vah River, it tributary of the Danube River in Slovakia. Rising in the Tatra Mountains as the Biely Váh (in the High Tatras) and Čierny Váh (in the Low Tatras), the river describes a long arc to the west and south as its shown in Slovakia rivers map. It joins the Little Danube to become the Váh Danube (Vážský Dunaj), which forms the eastern limit of Great Rye Island, and after several miles enters the Danube River at Komárno, in extreme southern Slovakia, after a course of 242 miles (390 km). The area of its drainage basin is 4,109 square miles (10,641 square km). The Váh has a large number of tributaries, many of which fall steeply off the Tatras and the outer ranges of the Carpathians.

Five sub-basins of the Danube River Basin are found in Slovakia: Danube – The sub-basin covers 3,440km2, and the main rivers here are the Danube and Morava Rivers. The average discharge of the Danube River at Bratislava is 2,044 m3.s-1. Hron – The total area of the sub-basin is about 12,331km2 and the major rivers are the Hron, Ipel’, Slaná and Rimava Rivers as its mentioned in Slovakia rivers map. The catchment area of the Bodrog River covers 7,272km2. The Bodrog River is formed by the confluence of the Latorica and Ondava Rivers at 100 metres above sea-level and crosses the Slovak border at an elevation of 94 metres above sea-level. The major tributaries to the Latorica and Ondava are the Topl’a, Laborec and Uh Rivers. The Uh River rises in Ukraine and runs only 20km in Slovakia. A certain part of the Uh Basin is situated in Slovakia and is drained by waters into Ukraine. A unique hydrologic situation exists in this river basin, as diverged water returns by way of the Uh River to Slovakia. Hornád – The catchment area of the sub-basin covers 5,272km2, and the major waters of the catchment area are the Hornád, Bodva and Torysa Rivers.

In Slovakia, a small country located in Eastern Europe between 47 and 49 degrees north latitude, the climate is moderately continental in the plains, while it becomes colder with increasing altitude in mountainous areas. In the western part of Slovakia, where Bratislava is located, the climate is moderately continental, with cold winters and warm summers. Precipitation is fairly frequent throughout the year, but it is most abundant in late spring and summer, when it can occur in the form of thunderstorm, while in winter, it often takes place in the form of light snow.
