The park has over 30 mountain lakes including the largest of all in the Tatras – Morskie Oko with an area of 35 ha. The Valley of Five Polish Tarns boasts Wielki Staw being the deepest of all Tatra mountain lakes: 79 m.The highest waterfall of the Polish Tatras is named Wielka Siklawa reaching 70 metres.
