Poles leaders of the ranking. However, there is nothing to enjoy
The Tatra Mountains are one of the tourist attractions of Central Europe. Every year, crowds of tourists attract the mountains located on the Polish-Slovak border. A shameful ranking has been published, in which our nation is leading.
The Tatra National Park published information that puts Poles first in the ranking. However, this is not a reason to be proud – it is about violations of nature protection regulations.
It was reported that 90 percent Tourists from Poland committed all the violations on the Slovak side of the border.
The most common offenses are illegal camping with breaking tents in protected places, arbitrary descending from marked trails, baths in mountain lakes and drones flights. Each of these behaviors can seriously disrupt the delicate high -mountain ecosystem.
In response to the increasing problems of the watchtower from Slovak and the Polish Tatra National Park, they organized joint patrols. The inspections started already in the early morning, when most tourists are planning the most difficult trips.
The actions focused in the most sensitive points – the area of Rysy, Szpiglasowa Pass and Liptów walls. This is where several hundred tourists were inspected during intensive patrols.
Poles leaders of the infamous ranking
Particularly disturbing are the cases of so -called black leadership – illegal leading groups to the highest peaks, including Gerlach, Łomnica and Satan. This practice threatens both nature and the safety of tour participants.
“The provisions in force in the park are to protect the mountain environment, which is particularly vulnerable to destruction,” emphasizes the Słowacki appropriate TPN. The management reminds that the Tatra Mountains are not a “scenery for selfie” or “obstacle course for fulfilling personal challenges.”
The purpose of increased control is not to harass tourists, but to protect unique nature. “Thank you to all tourists who respect the rules – thanks to them it is possible to preserve Tatra nature for future generations,” says the park.
