Slovak National Park Builds Electric Gate in Tatranská Javorina, Reverting to Pre-1989 State

The Tatra National Park administration is constructing an electric gate in Tatranská Javorina at a cost exceeding €400,000, a move critics say reverts the area to its pre-1989 restricted state. The project contrasts with volunteer-funded trail repairs on Kriváň, highlighting tensions over park management priorities. The development signals a potential shift in access policy, though official justifications remain unclear.
