SEE MY MOTORHOME SITE ON FACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/motorhomefulltime This is a point near Zdiar in Slovakia close to the Polish border near Podspady which I think has the best view of the Tatra mountains. If you have a motorhome you can also stop the night nearby in a public parking area! The Tatra Mountains forms the border between Slovakia and Poland, and are the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains. They cover 750 km² of which 600 km² lies in Slovakia, with the highest peak Gerlach at 2,655 m, located north of Poprad. Rysy (2,499 m), located in the north-western part of Tatras, is the highest mountain in Poland. The overall nature of the Tatras, together with their easy accessibility, makes them a favorite with tourists and researchers. Therefore, these mountains are a popular winter sports area, with resorts such as Zakopane, called also "winter capital of Poland", Poprad and the town Vysoké Tatry (The Town of High Tatras) in Slovakia created in 1999, including former separate resorts: Štrbské Pleso, Starý Smokovec, and Tatranská Lomnica. The High Tatras, with their 24 (or 25) peaks exceeding 2,500 m above sea level, together with the Southern Carpathians, represent the only form of alpine landscape in the entire 1200 km length of arc of the Carpathians. My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced over 2,100 original films. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects. Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating! I am very fortunate that I can spend a large part of my life travelling, thanks to the business I chose to run which allows me to do this. There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine! Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
