Through the High Tatras on the Tatra Electric Railway for just €4

The Tatra Electric Railway has been taking people up into the mountains for over 100 years so it was definitely time I gave it a go. This metre-gauge railway runs up from Poprad into the mountains and it also has a sister rack railway that climbs very quickly up from Štrba.

Join me on a sunny day in January when I try out all the routes, and unexpectedly meet a lot of quite assertive old people...
