Exposition of the Tatra Nature

The north – eastern periphery of Tatranská Lomnica is intended for the Exposition of the Tatra Nature. On an area of 3.2 hectares you can see more than 270 species of Tatra plants occupying various biotopes of the Tatras. The exposition is being opened at the beginning of May every year. The definite day is chosen according to the amount of snow which remained in the garden after the winter. But it is usually the second weekend of May.

And although Yellow Alpine Whitlowgrass, Purple Mountain Saxifrage, Slavonian Pasque Flower, Petrocallis Pyrenaica or Primula Minima finished blossoming already in the middle of April, there is still much to admire among flowers in the botanical garden. What is more, approximately 70 species of them can be bought in form of seedlings or seeds.

The Tatra botanical garden is interlaced with fine gravel paths. Over marshland there are wooden paths. It is easy to walk on them even with a pram or a wheelchair. And since last year there is a new waterfall with a supplying Stone lake in the garden.

In the Exposition of the Tatra Nature there is also a small geological area and a memorable place dedicated to those who pushed ahead and realized the idea of the Tatra National Park.
