Drive along Cesta Slobody - Road of Freedom
evaanna Says: Cesta Slobody is a great scenic route encircling the Tatras from the east and the south.Starting at Lysa Polana, it goes via Tatranska Javorina, Podspady, Zdiar, Tatranska Kotlina, Kezmarske Zlaby, Tatranska Lomnica, Stary Smokovec, Tatranska Polianka, Vysne Hagy, Strbske...
View from Prince Hohenlohe's manor house
evaanna Says: You absolutely mustn't miss it. Not many places offer such great views of the High Tatras without the necessity of any exhausting hiking. Here you can come in your car if you want. The day the picture was taken was a cloudy one so you can see only the Belianske Tatras with...
The hunting grounds of Prince Hohenlohe
evaanna Says: This is an absolute must-see if you are visiting Javorina. Standing on a hill just above the village there is a wooden manor house with hunting motifs built by Prince Kristian Kraft Hohenlohe, who became the lord of this estate in 1879 with the intention to live and hold his...

Now only a shop, but with excellent beer!
evaanna Says: This place used to serve hot meals, not a wide choice but it was something in the area where there is no other restaurant nearby. The next restaurant is in Zdiar, so we had to go there to have our dinner. What you can get there now is beer and other kinds of alcohol, an ice...
Slnečný dom: Slovak specialities and good fish
nina_z Says: They serve traditional Slovak cuisine, such as sourkrat soup (kapustinca) or small dumplings with sheep cheese (halušky) but also do other melas and excellent trout. Tatransky pstruh (trou a la Tatry) or trout with almonds
nina_z Says: This is the best way to get around Vysoke Tatry, it stops in villages at the foot f the mountains which are an excellent starting point for your hiking or walking trails. My advice is to buy a 1, 3 or 7 day train pass with which you don't have to worry about buying a ticket....
barryg23 Says: The modern electric train connects many of the small towns in the High Tatras and is a convenient and cheap way of getting around the area. We used it once to return to Tatranska Lomnica after our hike ended at Stary Smokovec.
evaanna Says: Although Zdiar has a number of new brick houses, there are still many traditional wooden ones, and they are the nicest. Constructed of beams cleverly joined at the corners, they often have weather-beaten shingled eaves, even if the actual roof has by now been covered with...
Horse-drawn carriage - still in use
evaanna Says: This kind of horse-drawn carriage is extremely rare now, but this one is still being used by farmers in Zdiar mainly to transport hay. Its wooden wheels with the iron rims make the ride extremely bumpy. I remember travelling in similar carriages on my holidays in the country...
nina_z Says: If you're off for a hike in Vysoke Tatry always pack warm and waterproof clothes even in summer. The weather in the mountains can change from sunshine to heavy rain or snow within minutes. I also recommend good hiking shoes, trainers are definetly not good enough.
Beware of cargo helicopters in action
evaanna Says: It may sound like a funny tip, never mind. I myself don't know whether the danger was real or imaginary, but what happened to us then was certainly alarming, to say the least.That year we went to visit the High Tatras soon after a strong gale, which had uprooted or broken...
evaanna Says: This is a trap that only a Polish tourist may fall into. When a Pole is looking for accommodation, he or she is likely to say to a Slovak landlady "Szukamy pokoju", which is a perfectly innocent sentence meaning "We are looking for a room." Polish is similar to Slovak and...
nina_z Says: Summer in Vysoke Tatry usually lasts from late May to begining of September but even in this season don't forget to bring some warm clothes, especially when you're considering to do hiking or any other outdoor activity. Also good hiking shoe are highly advisable. But don't...
Monkova Pol'ana - Monkova Mountain Glade
evaanna Says: This is a nice walk from Zdiar along a path parallel to the ski-lift, that is, if you only reach the beginning of the Monkova Valley and then take the path to the right. Walking along a mountain stream, you reach a hotel where you could have dinner at a restaurant, but their...
From Monkova Mountain Valley on to Kopske Sedlo
evaanna Says: This is a rather hard trail not to be recommended if you are not strong enough.After all, when you have seen the view of the Spiss Region you can always go back to the Monkova Glade. Later on the trail becomes really steep, you may have to climb over boulders and it is a...
Cycling in Ticha Dolina - The Silent Valley
evaanna Says: This cycling route is 11 km long and offers great views of the Tatras. The road, with asphalt surface and no other traffic except occasional vehicles of the TANAP (Tatransky Narodny Park) goes gently uphill. However, it is only on the way back that you really notice it. The...
High Tatras - Chaty to Stary Smokovec
barryg23 Says: It was more difficult to walk down the rocky red path from the chaty than to climb up it and we nearly slipped a couple of times. On our way we passed some guys carrying supplies to the chaty. This must be a very demanding job. They must have to take the funicular to...
High Tatras - Lunch at Zamkovskeho Chata
barryg23 Says: We arrived at Zamkovskeho Chaty 1.15 which meant it had taken us 3.5 hrs including breaks to get here from Lomninca. It was fairly tough going especially on the rocky red trail and the overall ascent had been about 600 metres. This was the nicest chaty we had seen so far. As...

Q: I am flying alone into Poprad Airport next month for a few days in the High Tatras (probably Tatranska Lomnica). Could someone...
A: Pretty sure there's no train service from the airport. The journey to Tatranska Lomnica is around 12km and shouldn't cost more than around 350,-Sk (£7-7.20) in a...
