Slovakian Winter Charm
Be a true Alpine explorer...
If you are passionate about winter then a visit to Slovakia to enjoy its natural charm is definitely a must. To begin this magnificent journey make your way to Žilina and catch a direct train to Košice. In doing so you will be taken from one end of northern Slovakia to the other. And get a chance to enjoy and absorb the rustic charm of the towns and villages as you make your way through this part of the Slovakian railway system.
But one thing that stands out above all is the outstanding nature, including some of Europe's highest mountain ranges and unspoiled forests. Your journey to Košice follows river valleys and crosses small lakes over traditional iron bridges and gives you the best mountain views. As your train makes its way to Poprad, you will make your way around the magnificent Tatras Mountains which are also known as the "Roof of Slovakia" due to their impressive height.
If you want to enjoy the entire mountain range then you will have to get off at Poprad and take a train to Tatranksa Lomnica, followed by the narrow-gauge line that continues on to Starý Smokovec, Štrbské Pleso and lastly Štrba, from where you can actually take a regular train back to Poprad. But if you are tight for time, then you also have the option of just crossing right through the centre of this magnificent mountain range, by taking the narrow-gauge from Poprad to Stary Somkovec.
No matter which of these routes you choose, you can be sure that the views out of your carriage window will make you feel like a true Alpine explorer.
