Up there: Untold stories of Tatra Mountain Huts

Sale price50 €

504 photos. 453 kilometers traveled. 272 pages of contents. 155 historical facts. 111 points of interest. 68 archive footage. 20 people. 13 stories. 10 months. 1 book.

It is a book of untold stories of Tatra huts. In it you will find stories, reflections, small stories and real legends that should not be missed by any mountain fan. You will learn, for example, about the secret visit of the Pope to the Silesian House, about the pulling of matches in Rysá or about a certain Czech tourist and her wedding veil. Their author is the columnist Samo Marec, whose father was a cottager on three of them.

But that doesn't stop there. For each of the 13 cottages, we have described the atmosphere, added points of interest and timeless tips. And we also added author's photos by Jakub Čaprnka and drawings by Ivana Čobejová. And each cottage received its original illustration from the popular author, Adrián Mach.

......

Up there, it stands out not only with the content and quality of graphic materials, but also with its processing. The number of pages eventually settled at 272, although this means that the thickness resembles an archive piece rather than a practical guide.

And the size 280x215 mm? Almost a museum art print. This time the paper is all the way from Sweden. And we chose it specifically to make your experience with large-format photos as authentic as possible.

First edition, print: October 2023
