"And what is it about these Tatra Mountains that is so wonderfully attractive that one longs for them, as if for a loved one? What force attracts there people of various occupations, dispositions, sexes and ages? Scientists, nature researchers, artists, poets, lovers of beautiful nature strive to the Tatra Mountains, as if to a treasury of wonders, and they return from there wrapped in a charm incomprehensible to those who have not been there." /quote from Walery Eliasz/
