Slovakia

A trek to Slovakia's Tatra mountain peaks presents tough challenges for Kevin Rushby and family.

I.
If you've ever planned a family hiking trip, you'll know that such enterprises are often tricky. And tackling Slovakia's High Tatra was definitely ambitious. I'd tried hard while in the UK to gather information from the web, but most of it was in Slovak and anyway it all depended on our capabilities, a factor I hardly knew how to explain. Maddy, 12, was adamant that she hated walking and loved only swimming; my partner, Sophie, liked walking, but hated the cold. I passed responsibility to a hiking agency in Slovakia and prayed they would understand.

Weeks later, we were in the Slovakian city of Poprad, gateway to the Tatra mountains, which rise abruptly to the north, intimidatingly massive and jagged. We were packing. I was trying to explain that every gram of unnecessary weight would be regretted, while playing down the challenges ahead. I did not mention, for example, that one 2,422-metre peak went by the name of Satan, nor that our ultimate goal, Rysy, was even higher. I had started to sound like a supermarket self-service checkout: “Unexpected item in bagging area!” From a pile of gear that would send shivers through a Sherpa, I pulled out a huge pink bottle. Sophie trembled. “You can't expect me to go without moisturiser!” Our preparations took some time.

From Poprad a train service runs up to the Tatra's skirts. There are small towns even closer to the mountains: StarySmokovec and TatranskaLomnica being the largest and best-placed. From the latter a cable car can even take you to over 2,600 metres, but I didn't tell Maddy that.

旅途當(dāng)中經(jīng)常會(huì)出現(xiàn)這樣的狀況，存在不止一條路線或交通工具，這時(shí)就會(huì)面臨選擇。選擇的過程、因素、結(jié)果等都可以成為述及昔日旅行時(shí)非常有價(jià)值的信息，YOYO再次建議大家在遇到 EVENT 中的旅行題時(shí)說一說（之前幾篇連載對(duì)這一點(diǎn)也有涉及）。

下周六請(qǐng)繼續(xù)關(guān)注：Slovakia 斯洛伐克（中）
斯洛伐克位于歐洲中部?jī)?nèi)陸，被稱為“歐洲的心臟”。獨(dú)特、婀娜多姿的風(fēng)景，靜謐又未加雕琢的自然風(fēng)光，使得斯洛伐克成為熱愛大自然、登山健行和洞穴探險(xiǎn)者的天堂。斯洛伐克氣候宜人，擁有9個(gè)國(guó)家公園，還是世界上城堡數(shù)量最多的國(guó)家之一……
