I still don't get it, so why not just call it Slovakia? Because the entire CJ refers to Slovakia etc.. nothing about Tatra....
This CJ though is just SO nice, EXQUISITE!

It's because he had this CJ before USNW, he most likely justs posts the updates from other sites here, and on other sites it's known as Slovakia, but here it is known as Tatra.

So, after the introduction and teaser update, we can continue to the full update. We will now look on the Mountains of Nizke Tatry. They are second highest mountains in Slovakia, with highest peaks Dumbier and Chopok(what is much more visited). There is also located one of the largest Slovak ski resort - Chopok Jasna. At first, we will look on the lower part of the mountains. On the hillsides are located many so called "rock avalanches" or fields.
One of the not many lakes there and largest lake in the Low Tatras is lake of Vrbice. It is medium sized lake, what is only sometimes visited by tourists.
One of the largest ski resorts in Slovakia and largest in Low Tatras is Chopok Jasna. It is popular among tourists, mostly from czech republic.
It is located on northern hillside of mount Chopok, second largest peak in low tatras. It has more than 5 major chairlifts and over 20 skiing ways.
Low Tatras are also beautiful in summer, I present you impressive view on the mountains from the one of peaks there.
And finally, I present image of another part of frozen lake Vrbice in winter.
So, after visiting entire southwestern and central part of the Slovakia, let's advance to the second part of this CJ. As in the first part, we will begin with two part update on the one of most popular and visited areas of the country. In first part it was city of Bratislava, now it will be area on the north from Low Tatras, the High Tatras, where is located highest point of Carpathian mountain range, Mount Gerlachovski, 2.655 m above sea level.
On this minor map, places of the areas shown in the last 5 updates can be seen.
There are many areas and valleys with beautiful nature in high Tatras, through many of them are flowing mountain streams, including rivers White and Black Vah.
Second highest peak in High Tatras, Mount Lomnica, is one of the not many peaks there with Cable car leading to the top. This cable car was a world rarity when built before many decades, and now it is still frequently used.
On the higher parts of the mountains, when not covered by snow, they are covered by rocks, grass, and typical flora of High Tatras.
Second largest natural lake in Slovakia and most beautiful one is Strbske Pleso, located in the most visited area in the mountains, with many hotels and tourist attractions. But there is still beautiful nature...
Last picture I will show you is real life view from the one of peaks of High Tatras.
After first update about the area of High Tatras, let's continue further. The High Tatras, as said before, is one of the most visited and popular areas in Slovakia, with beautiful mountainous nature and landscape.
There are also located large ski resorts Stary Smokovec and Tatranska Lomnica. Lomnica is the larger and more visited one, and is also located on the mountainside of magnificent Mount Lomnica, second highest peak of High Tatras.
In the entire High Tatras, there are located many mountain lakes, what were created by glaciers at the end of last Ice Age. Areas near them are very visited, Strbske Pleso is also one of them. They have incredibly clear water and they are often frozen in winter.
Eastern part of High Tatras is lower than central part, and also less visited one. But there are still many beautiful landscapes and areas, mainly in winter.
On the far east of High Tatras, where it meets lower areas in Orave, are located many valleys, mixed and deciduous forests, and also many beautiful streams and river springs.
And finally, real life image of the magnificent rocky and icy mountains of the High Tatras.
So, after the new set of Tatran updates, let's have another special on overall Slovak Nature. In this update, we will look on natural areas from the far north of Orave, to the far south, near river Little Danube. All pictures there were made using Sc4, although some may don't look so. And if you will look carefully, you will see one "Easter Egg" there.
So, at first let's begin close to the High Tatras, in the area of western Low Tatras. There are still located many forests, but many of them will be not there after few decades.
Between the Low and High tatras is located one of the largest Slovak lakes, but this is artificial, created by the water dam. It is called Liptovska Mara and is popular bathing and sunbathing area, one of the most popular on the north.
More to the south, southern than Low Tatras is located Central Slovakia, with many wheat fields and forests.
And now, only for one image, let's look again on the Southern Slovakia. There is also located branching river of Danube, Little Danube, what is creating huge island Zitny Ostrov. The river flows across many floodplain lowland forests.
And at the end of this update, I present you picture of the one of many pastures on the Orave, the northest area of Slovakia, hilly, and with colder climate.
One of the not many lakes there and largest lake in the Low Tatras is lake of Vrbice. It is medium sized lake, what is only sometimes visited by tourists.
One of the largest ski resorts in Slovakia and largest in Low Tatras is Chopok Jasna. It is popular among tourists, mostly from czech republic.

After many natural updates about the High and Low Tatras, we are slowly reaching areas of the eastern Slovak cities, Presov and Kosice. But first, we will look on the one of the beautiful natural areas in Slovakia, located in Spis, small Slovak region located just near Poland.
Now, we will leave the area of High Tatras. There are not many roadways connecting Spis with western areas, and they come across major forests, and many of them are not the best quality, though.
Final destination of these roads is small town of Spisska Stara Ves, what is looking more like a village than a city. At some areas are located few tenements, but entire town is full small houses with large gardens.
Spisska Stara Ves is also surrounded by farm fields, mostly wheat ones.
Across the city and further is flowing small river of Dunajec, one of the two Slovak rivers what later join Visla and Baltic Sea. Rest of them end in the Danube and Black Sea.
To the east, only about 4 miles from Spisska Stara Ves is located one of the most beautiful, although smallest national parks in Slovakia, Pieniny. It was mostly formed by river Dunajec, and in present times there are still many traditional rafters.
So, after the update about region of Spis, we are nearing the far northeastern corner of Slovakia. It is located just near Poland, and it is one of these not well known areas of Slovakia, what are attractive mostly because of national park Poloniny.
About 50 kilometers from Spisska Stara Ves is located one of the largest cities in Spis, Spisska Nova Ves. It is minor Slovak city, with about 20.000 inhabitants. On this pic, building of gymnasium can be seen on the upper part of image.
Only few railways pass across the Northeastern area, and almost all of them pass Spisska Nova Ves. This area is full of forests and meadows, with only few villages or towns.
In the far northeastern corner of Slovakia is located national park of Poloniny, major parts of it are also parts of Poland.
There are generally lots of forests in Poloniny, but also some areas without forests, with trees standing mostly alone and sparsely.
And finally, we will take a short trip to the Poland. About 300 miles from Poloniny lies famous polish national park of Bialowiez forest, with largest populations of European Bison in Europe.
So, after lots of natural updates, let's continue to the major cities on the East. First one, located more to the north is the city of Presov. It is third largest city in the Slovakia, and it is also located very close to the second largest city, Kosice. Full update will be soon, now I am showing you only the Teaser. Enjoy!
So, after the Teaser of the city of Presov, let's continue to the full update. As I said in second update, city of Presov is third largest city in Slovakia. Major city dominant is church of Saint Nicolas.
Let's begin just near the central square. Majority of buildings in this area were built in 18,19 and early 20.th century, but some buildings from 17th century can be also found there.
Major Church and dominant of the Presov is church of Saint Nicolas, one of the largest churches in Slovakia.
Further from the center, buildings are beginning to be more new, and major part of city is covered by one floor or even ground family houses.
Out of the city, there are also located few villages, they are mostly minor. Also, river Torysa, one of the minor slovak rivers passes this region.
And, let's leave the region of Presov, and let's visit the city of Kosice, second largest city of Slovakia with more than 200.000 inhabitants. There is one major highway connecting these two cities, but there are also many minor road communications.
Now, we will leave the area of High Tatras. There are not many roadways connecting Spis with western areas, and they come across major forests, and many of them are not the best quality, though.
Final destination of these roads is small town of Spisska Stara Ves, what is looking more like a village than a city. At some areas are located few tenements, but entire town is full small houses with large gardens.

This map shows areas and places shown in last 5 updates.
Outer areas of Kosice are full of family houses, with lots of tenements. Kosice is also known for being Slovak capital of Steel, with huge factories of US Steel Kosice located just near the city.
In the center of Kosice, there are located many historical buildings, Kosice has largest historical downtown in Eastern Slovakia. There is also tram system in Kosice, with Bratislava being only cities with it in Slovakia.
Cathedral of Saint Elisabeth, also with many other famous city sights is located at the Central City square, and are most visited areas in Kosice.
Hospital in Kosice is second largest in Slovakia, as most of Slovak hospitals it was also built in socialist years.
Also, the early elections in Slovakia will be held exactly on my birthday.

Fixed a coding error
Also, though I can't see the pictures at the moment, due to Majhost being down (again), I'm sure they're as terrific as always
