Valle de la raíz

Koprowa Valley is a general valley located in the Tatra Mountains. Slovak geographers treat it as the border between the High Tatras and the Western Tatras. It is included in the Polish High Tatras. The valley is about 11 km long and covers an area of over 31 km². These numbers make it one of the largest Tatra valleys.

The traces of glaciation are well preserved here, which makes the valley a diverse landscape. The Koprowa Woda stream flows through it, the space is also diversified by numerous ponds, the largest of which is Niżni Ciemnosmreczyński - the third largest Tatra pond in Slovakia. Currently, the tourist traffic in the valley is low, because it is under strict TANAP protection (Tatra National Park). There are also no tourist hostels.

The beauty of the valley was described by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer and Tadeusz Malicki. In the years 1944-1945, Slovak and Soviet partisans took refuge in the Koprowa Valley.
