Mountain lake in the High Tatra - Slovakia

Beautiful Slovakia !

You are now entering my very first VT page!

Slovakia is a hidden treasure of Eastern Europe: Bratislava is well worth a visit as the capital city, and the High Tatra region is a hiking heaven with snowcapped mountains, lakes, and waterfalls galore. As an additional bonus, it is not expensive and even in high season not overrun by tourists. Would love to go there a second time !

Pros and Cons

Pros:nature; excellent hiking trails; low prices
Cons:not all locals speak english (but you`ll get along)

Last visit to Slovakia: Jun 2006

This IS a fabulous page with gorgeous photos - now I wish I had spent a few days in this country than just a few hours in Bratislava. :))
