 No short cuts sign in the
Tatras by evaanna
It is also dangerous because of wild animals, particularly bears, which usually don't approach the trails.
The signs 'NESKRACUJTE CHODNIKY' have not been put there to spite you but for your safety only. Leave a Comment

 Helicopter in the Pod Muran'om
mountain clearing by evaanna
That year we went to visit the High Tatras soon after a strong gale, which had uprooted or broken lots of Canadian spruce trees, which are not indigenous to the area and too weak to withstand the hard conditions. Anyway there were masses of them lying around on the mountain slopes and obviously the TANAP ( Tatransky National Park) authorities wanted to make use of them. First, they had to transport them down the slopes and then off to the sawmills. As there were so many of the logs they were carried by helicopters. One of them was just standing in Pol'ana pod Muran'om when we arrived. My husband, like all true men, examined the helicopter from all sides and then we sat down on some benches in the distance. We could see some workmen fastening a loadful of logs to the underside of the helicopter, but thought it didn't concern us in any way as we were so far. We had seen more helicopters flying in the opposite direction, away from us and thought this one would too. Then all of a sudden the machine took off with a roar and went straight for us with the loadful of logs dangling from it, one of them having definitely been not fastened properly and sticking out. The helicopter was still flying low and we thought the logs might hit us. We started running away but it was pointless. The helicopter came very close to us and then turned round and went off in the same direction as the other machines before it. As far as I know a helicopter doesn't need a runway and the pilot could have taken the right course straight away. So what was it, a joke to scare off the nosey Poles? They had heard us talk in Polish before. Leave a Comment

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.
