The red trail leads you along the jagged peaks around Rohace, with chains to hold onto so that you don't fall off. With strong winds and icy conditions this Rohace trail is not for the faint hearted. Some of the trails in the Tatra Mountains are pretty scary - even for experienced hikers.

Another animal enjoying the Rohace sunshine. For a few more Slovak butterflies.

Pension Sindlovec, a lovely place and the closest pension to the Rohace national park. Their website, only in Slovak, is here. Click on 'cenniku' to get the prices. In other parts of the Tatra Mountains, prices tend to be higher.

After a long wwalk in the Rohace area, what more could a man ask for? Vension gulash with cranberry sauce - just what this tired hiker ordered.

More photos of Slovakia?

Or some Slovak food?
