The Tatra Mountains - Wild at Heart | Full Documentary Episode 1

One of the oldest forests in Europe grows on the Tatra's slopes. Nowhere else in central Europe do so many bears live so close together. But what is it that makes this environment so attractive to large predators?

My son and his Slovak wife and four children live in the High Tatras. She is a member of a conservation programme for wild life and apart from other things, she is on a team who once a year is their job to count goats in order to see how they are flourishing. Many bears stroll down to the hamlet where they live and try and raid the bins when they wake up and are hungry but there is still deep snow around. My son often films them right outside his door. The Slovak National Park is also a marvel of nature and species. All four of my grandchildren are expert skiers and skaters as my daughter in law used to be a professional ski instructor. I am due to go and visit them in a couple of week’s time and temperatures can go down to -20 up there, so am all ready with my thermals and thick socks! I’m looking forward to some clean alpine air away from London!

I was introduced to the Tatras by Slovakian friend in the summer of 1992. I returned during the last week of the same year and spent the year end in these mountains. On New Year's Eve, I saw out not only 1992 but the former country of Czecho-Slovakia and saw in 1993 and the new Slovak Republic. A most beautiful setting for a historic event.

This shows that not every country found it necessary to destroy all their Forrest's, rivers and wild animals!

[@coldbastard6859]

Tatra Mountains have been practically untouched in Poland for the last 1000 years. Highlanders who chose to live there found a way to coexist with the nature. Also with terrain that difficult it's nearly impossible to harvest trees commercially not to mention open a full scale mining operation or production. And so the life in Tatra continues as it always has - in its own pace.

[@gaz8891]

This is great. I'm loving learning about and seeing images of our European natural areas. The information about the effect of the flood on the riverbed is fascinating: how it created new sand banks which provided bare soil for willows to grow.

[@nds142]

Amidst the hidden danger of climate change, the portrait of sustainability and the saga of regeneration is a rainbow for environmentalists across the globe; long live Tatra's slope from the greedy eyes of so-called civilized people. Thanks to the entire team for this amazing and awesome journey garnished with vibrant narration.

Amazing mountain range. There are so many hiking trails and forestry roads. Days out in the mountains with only meeting a handful of people are still easy to obtain.

Excellent documentary...thank you for taking the time to explain the wildlife habitats and behavior, as well as the various flora. I wasn't aware there was such an area reserved for bears in Europe, so well done! Here in the states, bear populations have become so abundant in some areas they are sometimes considered a nuisance, which can be expected, as they are attracted to trash cans and bins.

[@matejjanosik5265]

You know, same happen here... We got them a lot, i am happy for them but there also a big risk last few years when u want to go to forrest for hike or so.. Attracted by bins? Of course, same same.. Cattles attacked? yes. Humans attacked by bears? Yes, thats the nature. Am i afraid of them? Yes but it never stop me visit their habitant :) Mostly lot of people dont want to accept them but they dont understand, its a bears land.. we have cities and willagies, they have forests.

The said about the growth of the trees from trash is not entirely true. A tree releases special acids which dissolve the stone. Then it starts feeding off the mineral substances that can be thus absorbed. It's far more complex than one would expect on first sight.

Mostly by abnormally strong winds destroying the forests

[@janlampert5688]

@@mm34639 I don't think the strong wind you mentioned (was it in 1998?) Or so, has anything to do with climate change. River Bela the only free running river in Slovakia only around few km long flowing down from High Tatra mountains shown in this documentary must had been filmed in 1997. That was the year with the abnormal rain fall which has amended the river bad. Accidentally I was there fly fishing Bela as I was nearly every Sommer weekends in 1995 - 1997. Returned there to flyfish after 20 years in 2016, just to find river Bela destroyed with silly Electrical power station, which they build on it. Why we humans destroy everything hard to tell.
