Roháče Pines: Life Above the Treeline

The dwarf pines (Pinus mugo) define the high slopes of Roháče, clinging to rocky ridges and marking the treeline above 2000 metres. Around them, alpine grasses and hardy wildflowers fill open meadows shaped by wind and cold, weaving color into the stark mountain landscape. Human impact is visible in old grazing paths and new hiking trails: visitors flock here for the scenery, but careful management helps protect rare plants, fragile soil, and wildlife. As a result, Roháče remains both accessible and wild—a place where nature thrives and every step matters.
