The '''Carpathian Mountains''' ([[Ukrainian]]: Карпати; [[Romainia|Romanian]]: Munţii Carpaţi; [[Polish]], [[Czech Republic|Czech]], and [[Slovakia|Slovak]]: Karpaty) are a [[Europe|European]] mountain range extending 930 mi (1500 km) in the central and east of the continent. The range extends into the countries of: the [[Czech Republic]], [[Romania]], [[Slovakia]], [[Poland]], [[Ukraine]], [[Serbia]], and northern [[Hungary]].
The range begins in southwest [[Slovakia]] and extends north into the [[Czech Republic|Czech]]-[[Slovakia|Slovak]] and into [[Poland]]. Along the Polish border are the [[Beskids]] and the [[Tatras]], which form the Northern Carpathians. The range continues to run east along the Polish border, then it goes down through west [[Ukraine]]. Further south, in [[Romania]], they are continued by the [[Transylvanian Alps]] (or Southern Carpathians), which extend to the Danube River.
The highest peaks of the Carpathians are [[Gerlachovský]] (8,737 ft/2,663 m) in the Tatras and [[Moldoveanu]] (8,346 feet/2,544 m) in the Transylvanian Alps.
The Carpathians are generally divided into two groups: the Western and the Eastern. Inside these two groups are many subgroups<ref>http://www.carpathians.pl/carpathians01.html</ref>.
