THIS IS SLOVAKIA!? | Tatra Mountains National Park

Here's a link to the blog we used to accomplish this hike:

We traveled to Poprad, Slovakia for one reason, to hike in our first national park outside of the United States! This particular hike came with some perks. The beginning of the hike was a chairlift and then a cable car taking us halfway up the mountain which made our ascent an amazing and not so exhausting experience. After cresting the mountain for spectacular views, our descent ended at a beautiful mountain lake with a chalet. The chalet had incredible food and affordable beer. Nothing could make a hike better.

We are the Sosa's.

For 4 years, we saved and prepared for a travel adventure around the world. We are not an extraordinary couple, simply explorers with big ambitions. Always on the lookout for the best food, bargain and sunrise we can find.

The guy you filmed hiking with a beer keg at 5:38 is a mountain carrier (horský nosič). They supply the mountain cottages with food, water and beer and people pay them the utmost RESPECT. Not many people are willing to hike a mountain with up to 40kg of supplies on their back all day XD. Im glad you liked the Tatras.

After the hut you hiked down the yellow route which doesn't go to where you started and it isn't very nice to walk on as it's the supply road for the hut. The better option is to get off the yellow route about halfway down. There is a sign on a pole that shows you where to do this. You hike 10 minutes on the green route, then turn left onto the red route which is nice and pretty. That takes you to where you get off the first cable car. You can then hike down the road for a mile to where to the cable cars start, or there are some gravity go-karts you can ride down for 10 euro (definitely worth it).

I am glad that you liked my country 🙂 and that you had a nice weather to fully enjoy High Tatras 👍

A nicely done video:) Not far from where I grew up. The downhill from the hut is really long and annoying. I once had to run it in the dusk to catch the last bus and fell on those freaking rocks. But I made it, haha.

Awesome video. I live near the Canadian rockies and you could have told me that you were here based on the footage. The only difference is that it's colder here right now.

Definalty would of taking the ski lift !!! That's a hike !! The views are so pretty.

[rikutaskinen]

What was said about the weather forecast at 10:05 is very true and a good tip for any central/eastern European destination. Never trust the weather forecast, especially if it predicts rain and grey clouds and lightning etc. I’ve nearly always found them to be very pessimistic outlooks. More often than not the weather is fine for most of the day with maybe an hour of bad weather. Even forecasts of the next or same day can be very wrong.

That ski lift is so worth it! The first part of the trail is very boring. Taking that ski lift will also save you a lot of time and energy for the rest of the hike, which can be challenging at times. I had no regrets taking that ski lift on my way back, too 😅

Guys 2:08 background looked great, mountains.

[chriswashingtonbeats]

I remember this heatwave it was like 40 degrees here in Poland

[remisouillard]

hello, first of all the video is magnificent, it inspires me for my next trip
and quick question, what is the name of the music used in 8:05 ?
Thank you

[julieeggleton]

Easy question..the hike around the crater lakes in Sete Cidades, Sao Miguel. I've been there. It's stunning!

[pelepelepk]

I really like what u 2 have done bc it is indeed such a great place to visit and also 99% of Americans don't even know where Slovakia is so well done!...tip..don't take cable car just walk it up..I'm former ice hockey player and the journey u did I use to run like twice a week for my condition and it cost me zero..lol

[TravelGrid_AS]

Is it best to go there in June? Considered because of weather.

[Theultrazombiekiller]

My fiancé and I are taking our Honeymoon to Slovakia and Hungary for 12 days this August so not too far away! We want to go hiking in the Tatras for at least 2 days, it looks beautiful. Do you know of any backpacking trails or the rules on camping in the national park?

[Brando-gives]

You are lucky with the drone footage, for it is mostly forbiden, requires a special permit. You guys did great, could also look up Western Tatras, if you are interested.
