An Autumn Morning in Vratna - Mala Fatra

This is another place where I like to return each year. The mountains of Mala Fatra are smaller than Vysoke Tatry and less frequented by tourists but that's what makes them beautiful. Summer, autumn and spring here are a paradise for hikers, while in winter there's a very good ski center with all ski difficulty levels.

That is an amazing intro picture. We hadn't planned to visit Mala Fatra but it looks great, maybe we'll fit it in.
