Carpathian+Mountains

The Carpathian Mountains is a long range of mountains that span across central and eastern Europe. The Carpathian mountains are the second largest mountain range in Europe. The Carpathian Mountains stretch through Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, and more than half of Romania. The name "Carpathian" becomes from an Indian tribe called "Carpi" that lived hundreds of years ago. Gerlachovský štít is the highest peak in the Carpathian Mountains currently today. If we visit some part of the Carpathian Mountains, I think we should visit the Spiš Castle in Slovakia because it has a great view of the mountain range and it is on the site of the Branisko pass. This castle is one of the largest castles in all of Central Europe. The Carpathian Mountain Range was formed during the Mesozoic era, when the tectonic plate, ALPACA, Tisza, and the Dacia moved over the ocean floor. The Carpathian mountain span does in fact come near another mountain range, the Transylvania Alps. The Transylvania Alps are southward span of the eastern Carpathian mountains and a western span of the western Carpathian range. The foothills of the southern Carpathian range reach Krakow.The southern range also helps in separating Poland and Slovakia. The mountains are famous for holding the world's greatest population in carnivores, including; lynxes, brown bears, and wolves. Many of these species are endangered and close to extinction.
