Given I've been tooting #Trains2Tatras, am pleased to report I not only made it up into the High Tatras today, I did so by little train.
Specifically, by the lovingly restored Kométa electric train built in 1913. It's a beautiful machine that makes all the right noises as it accelerates towards its top speed of 30km/h. Whenever it parks up, it passes that responsibility to an organ grinder (just visible to right).

Tiny rural train station. An old green electric train and one carriage stand at a platform. In the shade of the small station building, the driver and his organ grinder pal chat.
