[[File:Kościelec view 2.jpg|thumb|The [[High Tatras]] offer excellent opportunities for climbing. [[Świnica]], here as seen from [[Kościelec (High Tatras)|Kościelec]], is the highest peak within the city limits, at {{convert|2,301|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}.]]

There is a network of well-marked hiking trails in the Tatras and according to the national park regulations the hikers must stick to them. Most of these trails are overcrowded, especially in the summer season.

The [[High Tatras]] offer excellent opportunities for climbing (up to X [[UIAA grade]]).

In summer, lightning and snow are both potential hazards for climbers, and the weather can change quickly. Thunderstorms are common in the afternoons. In winter the snow can be up to several meters deep.
