Tatra Mountains: Why You Must Go

Thanks to my French passport I had a shot at getting to Europe for autumn. The first place I wanted to see in 2020 was the Tatra Mountains so I emailed the Polish Tourism Office to see if they would have me over. They said yes! Here's 7 days going up and down this range just in time for the fall colors and the first snows of the year. Oh and no-one was there because of you know what.

Thank you Tatras, just like last time, you've left me wanting more.

I'm going to the Tatras in 2 weeks, and I'm soooo looking forward to it! I spent a huge part of my childhood there, and that place is always calling me back. Love it. Great content! Looking forward to checking out your other videos!

Wow what a wonderful cinematography and beautiful storytelling!

I have been going to these mountains for many years, you showed my beloved Tatra Mountains in an amazing way, you brought out their true nature and this mysterious face. The weather in the Tatras is capricious, hopefully you can come back in slightly different, better conditions. Though hazy they are beautiful. I wish you the best!

Made me appreciate homesick watching this video- you really managed to capture the soul of the place ❤

Well i coming back there either as much as possible, Tatras are not highest, but surely one of the most beautyful and pictoresque mountains in Europe. So shame, everything od getting more and more commercialized every next year.. love them though. Greetings from PL

I have been planning a 2-week trip to Europe for next spring of 2025. I used a solo travel agency as I'm traveling alone, and since I'm a Senior Citizen, I'd feel more comfortable with a group of solo travelers. I chose a Best of Central Europe "package" and will be visiting Vienna, Prague, Krakow, the Tatra Mountains and Budapest. I'd never heard of the Tatra Mountains (most Americans aren't familiar with the mountain ranges over there). The Google images were fantastic, and I also wanted to check the place out on YouTube and am not disappointed. I just hope the weather cooperates!

Nice video Alex! Wonderful storytelling!

One of my favourites of yours man. Really keen to visit that part of world :) !!

[tomstravelsphoto]

Your storytelling is always so good man! Keep these videos coming.

This is awesome, thanks for the fresh perspective! - I wish we had mountain huts like this scattered throughout the Cascades.
I've had the Tatras on my mind since reading "Art of Freedom: The Life and Climbs of Voytek Kurtyka" and this film has captured so much that the book evokes.
Can't wait to travel again.

Amazing video! Just went on a 4 days hike to Tatra Mountains and to me are the Andes of Poland! Love your videos, thanks for showing some good stuff!

[LevinBe]

So beautiful. The Tatras are only around 10 hours of driving by car away from my place in Germany. Will definitely visit them as soon as the pandemic is somewhat under control.

It's strange and fascinating to hear my own language in your film at the same time. I haven't seen the Tatra Mountains for a long time. I moved to the north of Poland, although I come from the south. I miss trips to our mountains very much. I think I will make up for it this Easter. Thanks for the movie.

[lukaszczachor]

Epic video. Great job! Greetings from Poland. We will happy to see you next time!

[tatraflyfishing]

It was nice to show you our lovely river and its inhabitants! You showed the region from good perspective, congrats for this project. Hope to see your filming crew again, greetings!

Great video Alex, and awesome pictures as always 🤙🏼 As a Slovak I gotta say that most of those mountains in your pictures are in Slovakia. In fact, most of High Tatras are in Slovakia, you gotta come and check it out for yourself! 🙌

[Ludvigvanamadeus]

Great video, gorgeous pictures.
I need to correct you on one name though - Hala Gąsienicowa is the name of the glade where the shelter is located, the name of the shelter itself is Murowaniec

[JereTravels]

So beautiful! Oh man, wish I lived close to mountains..

[necggry]

You need to visit this place if your a mountain fan. The high tatras part looks so amazing. They are extreme and rocky and the valleys are beautiful. If u are wondering what the special place at 8:10 that is the halfway part to the top of the Rysy mountain which is the highest place in poland

[diankaselecka]

Very nice video! :) High Tatras are absolutely beautiful from both sides but most of the mountain range is on our Slovak side so you should definitely visit and make some great memories ✨
