Slovakia

I took a bunch of photos/videos while hiking in the Tatra Mountains in northern Slovakia over the past week, here are some of the good ones:

Relaxing in the boarding house

A hotel in Stary Smokevec, Slovakia

My roommate Mathias in deep snow

For those of you who can read Slovakian

Riding the cable car

Oliver and Norman checking the map

Danger

Halfway there

Big rock face

Pretty clouds

Me, Norman, Mathias and Simone

Airplane

This area had a bunch of Huts on top of various summits. There are no roads to them, so shepherds have to lug a ton of weight on their back all the way to the top. You can get everything from beer, to lunch, to t-shirts at these places.

Here's Oliver, Mathias, Norman and Simone inside

Going back down again

Waterfall

Slovakian Coat of Arms

I know it looks cold for a t-shirt, but hiking's a really good workout

Really wish I'd had my snowboard

It got really foggy

Another winter waterfall

Lodge

Slovakian Gnocchi is good, but I should have gone with the Deer Goulash

Frozen waterfall

Cross at the symbolic cemetary

Partially frozen lake

Strange icicles

The sun only breached the mountains for about ten minutes

Lake at the top

Strudel and Beer

We decided to make a short horror flick
