Tatry. Przewodnik dla dużych i małych

The mountains can be a treacherous place – the weather is constantly changing, snow can fall at any time, fog can set in and it’s easy to get lost or lose your footing. This friendly guide leads young readers through the landscape, staying clear of bears and other dangers, in pursuit of the fresh air and freedom that the mountains afford. The author has taken his own personal fondness for mountaineering trips to prepare the best tips for what to wear and what to bring, where to stay and how to plan your day, how to interact with others and be respectful in the great outdoors, how to be prepared for any surprises and how to find help when we need it. The goal of the book is to help young people make the most of their mountaineering excursions and make happy memories. The book kicks off on the Polish-Slovak border of the Tatra Mountains, part of the Carpathian Mountain chain, where readers can start exploring not only the natural surroundings – but the unique culture of the local people, their traditional garb, lovely houses, delicious cheeses and classic local legends. As the director of the Tatra National Park, co-author Paweł Skawiński is fully equipped to share his wisdom about the region in a kid-friendly way.
