The Nízke Tatry National Park (NAPANT) is the largest Slovak national park, stretching across central Slovakia. Its greatest attraction is numerous karst formations with several caves.
The natural treasures of the Nízke Tatry Mountains have been protected for more than two decades by the Nízke Tatry National Park, which was proclaimed in 1978. The original area of the NAPANT area was 811 km2, while its protection zone covered an area of 1 240 km2. In 1997, the boundaries of the national park were adjusted in order to make nature protection more effective. Today, the NAPANT area itself covers 728 km2 and the protection zone 1 102 km2, making NAPANT the largest national park in Slovakia in terms of area. The NAPANT administration is based in Banská Bystrica.
