You should definitely visit High Tatras! It's not so far away from you and it is worth it.
I'm not so sure about the weather because from my experience it can change there very quickly. It's even worse than in the Alps. Anytime I go there I can see that it's changing every 15 minutes. It's very strange.
I've never heard of Tatra Electric Railway but will check it out :) Probably you didn't go that high. There was a dense forest at the beginning of Tatras but there was a large storm some years ago (maybe 10?) and most of the forest was destroyed..
Thank you for stopping by my dear and for your kind words!
Thank YOU! It was my pleasure!
Quite right, we passed tha destroyed firest, I remember, it looks spooky. And yes, now I get it, we really didn't get very high. The final stop was a hotel and some bars or shops.
