This chamois statue is installed in village Lysá Polana by a public road, just few metres from border with Poland. Figurative chamois is a symbol of TANAP (National Park High Tatras), typical animal living in these mountains. Rusting metal statue is approx. 1.5 metres high, standing on concrete-stony cube. It does not have any plaque nor information about author, date of installation, etc.

The Tatra chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra tatrica; Slovak: Kamzík vrchovský tatranský; Polish: Kozica tatrzanska) is a subspecies of the Chamois of the Rupicapra genus. Tatra chamois lives in the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia and Poland and, unknown to many, the Low Tatras in Slovakia.

Kamzík je symbolom Tatranského Národného Parku, kedze je typickým zástupcom tunajsej fauny. Jeden a pol metra vysoká socha z pomaly hrdzavejúceho kovu stojí na murovanej kocke bez oznacenia autora, ci dátumu instalácie.
