The unveiling of a new memorial plaque commemorating the visit of British Queen Elizabeth II in 2008 at Hrebienok on Friday symbolically ended the winter tourist season in the High Tatra Mountains.
Although it'll still be possible to ski at Štrbské Pleso and Tatranská Lomnica during the weekend, the Tatra people are already getting ready for the summer. Tourism official Lucia Blasková confirmed that the exceptionally warm weather was the main reason for the low numbers of winter visitors. However, the numbers were partly increased by hikers.
