Stretching a mere 50 km across the northern reaches of this European country are the stunning High Tatras, part of the greater Carpathian mountain range. Here, you’ll find quiet alpine towns, adorable chalets, iconic mountain vistas, and some of the finest cuisine in Slovakia. The must-try dish of the region is the signature Bryndzové halušky, which are potato dumplings (similar to gnocchi) covered in a rich cream sauce, topped with bacon & chives).
This area is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, with a vast web of hiking trains to remote lakes, waterfalls, and summits, and is easily accessible by train from anywhere in Europe. A network of cable cars and chairlifts help you ascend to the region’s greatest heights with relative ease.
I wasn't able to spend a ton of time here, as I visited during a very overcast week in October, but I was able to get a sense of the region through my visits to the small lakeside town of Štrbské Pleso, where I ascended the stunning Predné Solisko peak. There, I enjoyed a short alpine hike for some glorious views of the Tatras, and treated myself to a light lunch of kapustnica (cabbage soup) and a half pint of pilsner.
I definitely plan to return to the Slovakian High Tatras in the future. If you're looking for an inexpensive, readily accessible mountain getaway, I'd encourage you to check out this amazing region of one of Europe's most overlooked countries.
