Tatras
This photo is from one of our many walks in the “High” Tatras – just so many spectacular views.
Ann & me on the Monkova Dolina Walk in The White Tatras.
View of Propradske Pleso from Sedlo Pod Ostrnou. On a few of the days the weather was rather poor. Ann took this photo after a shower, looking down at the rainbow!
Me at the top of Vyssie Kopske Sedlo. The views were great, but the biting wind didn’t encourage us to hang about for too long admiring them.
Technical Note:- IMHO there seems to be little correlation between the spelling & the pronunciation of Slovakian words. Karen assures me that I have the spelling correct in all the place names, including this mountain – just don’t run them by your (English) spell-checker!
The Lake by our Pension at Strbske Pleso. Yet another idyllic view.
Climbing Ladders in the Sucha Biela Gorge in Slovensky Raj. Some of the climbs in this area are so steep, that ladders are the only sensible way through.
Not for the feint-hearted – some of the ladders were very steep & high. That’s me waving at the top in the photo on the right.
We don’t have anything like this in the UK – Health & Safety would throw a fit.
On one of the days it was raining too much to consider a walk – so Karen took us to these “famous” Ice Caves, in Dobsina. Frankly, if you find yourself in the same predicament – don’t bother. They were an expensive disappointment. A post-communist attempt at a Western tourist trap.
