The Slovakia You Never Knew Existed (Exploring the High Tatras, one of Europe's mountain gems) 🇸🇰

- Stretching a mere 50 km across the northern reaches of this European country are the stunning High Tatras, part of the greater Carpathian mountain range. Here, you’ll find quiet alpine towns, adorable chalets, iconic mountain vistas, and some of the finest cuisine in Slovakia. The must-try dish of the region is the signature Bryndzové halušky, which are potato dumplings (similar to gnocchi) covered in a rich cream sauce, topped with bacon & chives).
This area is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, with a vast web of hiking trains to remote lakes, waterfalls, and summits, and is easily accessible by train from anywhere in Europe. A network of cable cars and chairlifts help you ascend to the region’s greatest heights with relative ease.
I wasn't able to spend a ton of time here, as I visited during a very overcast week in October, but I was able to get a sense of the region through my visits to the small lakeside town of Štrbské Pleso, where I ascended the stunning Predné Solisko peak. There, I enjoyed a short alpine hike for some glorious views of the Tatras, and treated myself to a light lunch of kapustnica (cabbage soup) and a half pint of pilsner.
I definitely plan to return to the Slovakian High Tatras in the future. If you're looking for an inexpensive, readily accessible mountain getaway, I'd encourage you to check out this amazing region of one of Europe's most overlooked countries.

Rolled the dice on the chair lift. Glad you didn't get rained on lol
I'm glad too! 😂😂 I would have loved to do proper hiking, but the weather was deterred me from doing so.
As always you really capture the beauty of the landscape.
Thanks Dave for bringing us along.
Cheers 🍻
Thank you for the kind words, Vincent 😎
great video..thanks for supporting local business covid pandemic ruin lots of tourism in slovakia.
It was my pleasure! I strongly support safe & responsible tourism during the pandemic! It was great to explore your beautiful country, while helping to support all these struggling businesses. Thank you for watching! 😎
Thanks for the video! What time of year did you do this hike? I’m considering doing a hike like this at the end of October. Cutting it close w Nov 1 trail closures.
You answered my question in the video. October 7! 😃
Beautiful hike, but it might be a bit dodgy that time of year - be careful!
Rain in our mountains is brutal u said that it was 30 mins from cable cars to the train station once I got couth up in the rain there and I ran to the station in 8 mins :D
The rain can be very motivating! 😂
2:29 9,00€???? My god! I hate these tourist traps.
Btw nice video you deserve more subs, good work!
Thank you for the kind words! 😎 Is that expensive for halusky?! I live in Canada, so $14 for an entrée is a very good price! (Would be $18-22 here). Now I feel ripped off 😂
@@DrifterDave Halušky cost somewhere in middle Slovakia in classic restaurant 4-5€ so 😂😂
@@sparta178 I will remember this for my future visits! 😂😂
@@sparta178 I presume it is more expensive because it is in the High Tatras....I wouldn't expect the same price in the whole country as same as you would not expect the same price eg. in London and Liverpool......
This is true! 👍
