About Slovakia
Slovakia is a landlocked country located in central Europe. It borders five European countries including Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Ukraine.
Most of Slovakia is rugged and mountainous with lakes and valleys scattered throughout the country. But its terrain gradually flattens out further to the south towards Hungary.
One of its most prominent features is the Tatra Mountains (or Carpathian Mountains) in the north. Its highest point, Gerlachovsky Stit (or Gerlach), stands at 2,655 meters close to its border with Poland.
