Dead Forest

Stary Smokovec - Slovakia. -------------------------- Disaster on High Tatras Mountains

On November 19, 2004, the most beautiful mountains in Slovakia were hit by an unprecedented storm. The forests in the High Tatras National Park mountain range were obliterated after powerful windstorm blew over Slovakia resulting in damages of billions of Slovak crowns. The devastation was horrendous as trees were blown away like straws by the gusts of wind reaching at times a speed of up to 173 km/ hour.

The windstorm completely destroyed 13 000 hectars of forest, which comes up to a third of the total of the High Tatras National Park 46000 hectars.
