Slovakia's High Tatras

On the border between Slovakia and Poland, the High Tatras mountain range offers hikers a great alternative to the higher-priced Alps. Art Patnaude writes about a four-day hike on the Slovakian side in The Wall Street Journal. "The mountains are in Slovakia's 740-square-kilometer Tatras National Park, known for its jagged, snow-capped peaks and unspoiled mountain lakes, as well as for being a less-well-known, less-expensive alternative to the Alps. We had come for four days of hiking in the park, which is dotted with mountain chalets, or chaty, along the trails, where we would stay."
