This turned out to be a good thing, as the car park started charging at 7am, and as I peeped out from behind the curtains I discovered that we were the only vehicle in the car park, and were being watched by two fellas in high vis jackets. A quick pack up of Zagan and I wandered over to them to ask how much it was as we were leaving now, getting out of there before 8am meant we were only charged for an hour at \u20ac1.80, a cheap night.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21379\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21379\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21379\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01218-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Male bark beetle catcher, slovakia\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01218-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01218-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01218-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01218-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01218-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We&#8217;ve seen these in many forests. Finally, with the internet, we&#8217;ve discovered they are for catching male bark beetles, a pest to the pine and spruce tree.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Still bleary eyed we drove the short trip to the next resort. Here we were welcomed with signs pointing us to a huge free car park next to the ski lifts. Much nicer than Stary Smokovec where every car park charges and has\u00a0its own little guard hut! We pulled in and had the car park to ourselves for about an hour, then cars started to arrive, lots of cars. We couldn&#8217;t work out what they were all doing here, the clouds were low and you couldn&#8217;t see the mountains, yet they were all queuing up for tickets up the gondola. \u00a0We checked the webcams, zero visibility at the first cable car station halfway up the mountain, and at the top the camera showed white cloud and white snow, yet still they went up. We can only think it&#8217;s because it\u2019s Sunday and they have to be back at work tomorrow. We don&#8217;t, so we saved our money and stayed at ground level.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21372\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21372\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21372\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01191-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Tatranska Lomnica, Slovakia\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01191-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01191-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01191-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chairlifts up into the cloud<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_21384\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21384\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21384\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tatranska Lomnica Webcam, Slovakia\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Webcam showing Zagan in the bottom car park<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_21385\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21385\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21385\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam2-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tatranska Lomnica Webcam, Slovakia\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam2-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/webcam2-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iced-up webcam at the top &#8211; brrrr!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As the cloud started to lift a little in the afternoon we went for a walk up through what used to be huge pine forests until Friday 19 November 2004, when a massive windstorm swept through this area with gusts of up to 165km\/h (over 118km\/h is considered a hurricane).
