      1. HEALTH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      AIR, SUN AND HEALTH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Exceptionally\nclean air, high sunshine values, fragrant essential oils and many other aspects\nproof the healing effects of this popular destination. Higher altitudes\nincrease the amount of haemoglobin and blood. More sunshine and lower\natmospheric pressure result in positive physical changes too. The air is very clean in the Tatras because they are\nlocated above the dust and smoke zone, i.e. it is almost free of bacteria and\nallergens. The region is typical for a lot of\nsunshine (almost 1,817 hours per year on average) and stronger ultraviolet\nradiation, which is almost 15 times higher when compared to cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As\nfor the atmospheric pressure, or air pressure, this is equal to the weight of a\ncolumn of air between the respective altitude and the upper atmosphere level.\nBesides the altitude, the air pressure is influenced by the temperature and air\ncirculation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      TATRA NATIONAL PARK<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      TANAP was established already in 1949 and is the oldest national park in Slovakia. It is created by a mountain group in the Carpathian arch with the highest peak \u2013 Mt Gerlachovsk\u00fd \u0161t\u00edt (2,655 m). As for Europe, it is a unique fauna and flora protection model in the highest European mountain range located to the north of the Alps. Together with the Polish national parks, the Tatras have been considered a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. CLIMATIC THERAPY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      COMPLEX THERAPY<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The concept of climatic therapy combines the effects of unique mountain climate, clean air and sunshine with staying in fresh air. This means that active climatic therapy uses individual climatic factors such as wind, sun and shadow combined with kinesiotherapy (hiking), sports and outdoor activities and serves as a complex therapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      CLIMATE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The climate itself is quite stable and is one of permanent physical-geographic features of locations or countries. The skin responds to temperature, mechanical, humidity and electromagnetic stimuli. The respiratory tract mucosa reacts to gaseous components, aerosols and sensory organs process olfactory, acoustic and visual stimuli. In case of a climate change, the organism has to adapt in order to keep the internal environment stable. Climate therapy has been examined also by doctor Szontagh, who found out based on measurements and observations that temperature inversion in winter is typical not only for higher temperatures but also for more sunny days at higher altitudes. What\u2019s more, the oxygen tension is reduced, which is related to lower air pressure, lower average temperatures and high ozone levels in the Tatra air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
