BBC filmmaker in Slovakia to write a book about mountains

Nick Thorpe, a British journalist and documentary maker for the BBC, crossed the Low Tatras and rafted the Hron River to describe Slovakia's nature as faithfully as possible.

Thorpe is currently working on a book about the life of the people, as well as living and non-living nature of the Carpathian Arc.

That is why he also came to Slovakia and is planning several stops here.

"He is a very perceptive person who is interested not only in nature, but also in people, culture, the environment in which they live,” said Michal Šaradin, Nick Thorpe's guide around Slovakia. “He asked about communities, about individual people. On his next visit, he should visit the Low Tatras again, then Poľana, remote areas in Podpoľanie, maybe Zaježová, where such a traditional way of life is lived."
