In the treetops

May 2020 · 3 min read · District of Poprad

The view of only birds and squirrels is not seen every day. In the High Tatras in Bachledova dolina it is possible to walk in the treetops.

It's a nice December day and we are going on an interesting trip. Direction High Tatras!

We enter the parking lot and it is clear to us that a nice sunny day was chosen by many people for hiking or skiing.

Before we get to the entrance to the attraction, we have to overcome a few meters of altitude and get to the top of the hill. We have two options. Go up the cable car or on foot.

The women in the game are behind the cable car, but the men have won and they are walking. After all, when it comes to hiking, you

The ascent is not easy and we take a break several times. We follow the ski slope. Opposite us are skiers skiing and enjoying relaxation in the mountains. The fact that we climb the piste has one advantage. We don't have to wander in the high snow.

We take a short break at the top, have hot tea and go to the entrance gate. We enter a wooden walkway, which is supported by wooden pillars. The sidewalk is at the height of the treetops.

We have a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The sidewalk is built in a circle and at the end there is a high lookout tower.

We go up the stairs and enjoy the views. On one side we see the cable car and the ski slope we went up.

On the next page, we enjoy the view of the snow-capped peaks of the High Tatras.

And on the other hand, thanks to the good visibility, we can admire the majestic Three Crowns in the Pieniny National Park.

I take a thorough photo of everything and descend from the attraction to the tourist signpost. He somehow hid from us on the way up. That's why we went up the slope. But we have already found it and we descend down the tourist path. From the amount of snow on it, we conclude that we are the first to go after it since the last snowfall.

We wander in the snow and fall to our knees here and there. We were supposed to go down the slope, we're talking.

But it wouldn't be so funny. And we would not see a beautiful Tatra village. The sun shines directly opposite us, which allows me to win with the camera and try to take photos in the backlight.
