1949–1987 The mountain becomes a national parkZ hory sa stáva národný park

On 18 December 1948 the law creating the Tatra National Park was passed; it came into force on 1 January 1949 and made this the first national park in Slovakia. The Roháče above Zuberec were at first only in its buffer zone, and a government decree in 1987 moved the Western Tatras into the park proper. That is why the road stops at Zverovka and why the high paths are closed from the beginning of November to the middle of June — not tidiness, but a legal protection regime, and one that turned the mountain above the village into a destination with rules.18. decembra 1948 prijali zákon o Tatranskom národnom parku; účinnosť nadobudol 1. januára 1949 a urobil z neho prvý národný park na Slovensku. Roháče nad Zubercom patrili spočiatku len do jeho ochranného pásma a nariadením vlády sa v roku 1987 Západné Tatry stali priamo súčasťou parku. Preto sa cesta končí na Zverovke a preto sú vysokohorské chodníky zatvorené od začiatku novembra do polovice júna — nie je to poriadkumilovnosť, ale právny režim ochrany, ktorý z hory nad dedinou urobil cieľ s pravidlami.
