For 40 Slovak crowns, a small train called the 'Glamour bus' takes lazy tourists from the car park up the hill to the beginning of the Rohace trail. About 200 metres up the trail was a pile of fresh bear shit. Bears are quite common in Slovakia.

There are four small mountain lakes in the Rohace area and they are all very photogenic.

Photogenic Slovakia. Early morning in the Tatra mountains - it was nippy and gloves and hats were needed but as soon as the sun came out it soon warmed up.

The view from Branik sedlo. Down in the valley there was thick fog thanks to inversion, leaving the Tatra mountains in glorious sunshine.
