The Tatra Mountains, Tatras or Tatra (Tatry either in Polish (pronounced [ˈtatrɨ]) and in Slovak (pronounced [ˈtatri]) - plurale tantum), are a mountain range that form a natural border between Slovakia and Poland. They are the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains. The Tatras should be distinguished from the Low Tatras (Slovak: Nízke Tatry) which are located south of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.
The Tatra Mountains occupy an area of 785 square kilometres (303 sq mi), of which about 610 square kilometres (236 sq mi) (77.7%) lie within Slovakia and about 175 square kilometres (68 sq mi) (22.3%) on the territory of Poland. The highest peak, called Gerlach, at 2,655 m (8710 ft) is located north of Poprad. The highest point in Poland, Rysy, at 2,499 m (8200 ft) is located south of Zakopane.[1][2]
The Tatras' length, measured from the eastern foothills of the Kobyli Wierch (1109 m) to the southwestern foot of Ostry Wierch Kwaczański (1128 m), in a straight line is 57 km (35 mi) (or 53 km (33 mi) according to some),[2] and strictly along the main ridge, 80 km (50 mi). The range is only 19 km (12 mi) wide.[3] The Tatras' main ridge leads from Huciańska Pass (905 m) in the west to Zdziarska Pass (1081 m) to the east.
The Tatras are protected by law by the establishment of the Tatra National Park, Poland and the Tatra National Park, Slovakia, which are jointly entered in UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves. In 1992 the Polish and Slovak parks were jointly designated a transboundary biosphere reserve by UNESCO in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves under its Man and the Biosphere Programme.

The last 4x5 shot from the October Tatras adventure. My personal fav.
Een bijzonder ontwerp, deze Tsjechische Tatra 87. Niet alleen vallen de drie grote koplampen op (alleen niet hier op deze foto), ook de aërodynamische 'vin van een vis' achterop is opmerkelijk te noemen. Dit laatste is een uitvinding van de Oostenrijker Hans Ledwinka, die in 1921 begon als technisch directeur bij zijn Tsjechische werkgever. Ook opmerkelijk: Ledwinka en Ferdinand Porsche waren goede collega's. Daardoor vermoedde Tatra dat Porsche zijn ontwerp van de Volkswagen Kever van hen heeft gekopieerd. Na een rechtszaak en na de oorlog gaf Volkswagen het toe dat de Kever invloeden van de Tatra had.
Dan nog wat feitjes over de 87: onder de kap lag een heuse V8-motor, wel met maar 85 pk. Tussen 1937 en 1950 (met een productiestop tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog) werden er 1752 geproduceerd. In Nederland werden er twaalf verkocht, waarvan er nu naar verluidt nog twee van over zijn. Eentje heeft een mooi plekje in het Louwman Museum.

A special design, this Czech Tatra 87. Not only do the three large headlights stand out (only not in this picture), but also the aerodynamic 'fin of a fish' on the back is remarkable. This last thing is an invention by the Austrian Hans Ledwinka, who started in 1921 as technical director at his Czech employer. Also remarkable: Ledwinka and Ferdinand Porsche were good colleagues. Thereby Tatra suspected that Porsche copied his design of the Volkswagen Beetle from them. After a lawsuit and after the war, Volkswagen admitted that the Beetle had influences from the Tatra.
Then some other facts about the 87: under the hood was a real V8 engine, but with only 85 hp. Between 1937 and 1950 (with a production stop during the Second World War) 1752 were produced. Twelve were sold in the Netherlands, of which there are now reportedly two left. One has a nice spot in the Louwman Museum.

Recently placed in service at the Harskamp Infanterie Schietkamp (ISK) which is a military firing range in the Netherlands, is this Tatra Phoenix 6x6 built by Ziegler.
It carries 12,000 litres of water, 500 litres of foam and is fitted with a roof monitor, bumper monitor and thermal imaging camera amongst other things.
It is the only Tatra fire engine in use in the Netherlands.
I didn't expect to find so many pre-war Tatras on this small town classic car meeting. This two-cylinder boxer was restored in 2003-2007 by the current owner. The 12 is an evolution of the 11, which was the first Tatra with the still used central chassis.

Tatra T3R.P 8344+8328 in Praag. Het gaat om rond het jaar 2000 gemoderniseerde T3-trams met transistors in plaats van weerstanden. Ook het interieur is grondig aangepakt. Zo kunnen ze weer 20 jaar mee.
Aufgrund größtmöglicher Kapazitäten während der Corona-Pandemie wurden die Berliner Tatras (KT4Dmod) nach dem baubedingten Einsatzende auf der Linie M17 Mitte Februar 2021 nicht abgestellt. Aktuell Sind sie auf operativen Zusatzkursen der M5/M8 zu finden, die wegen Überlastung der Schleife Virchowstraße ein Stück auf der M10-Strecke zur Blockschleife Kniprodestraße/Danziger Straße geführt werden. Auch auf den planmäßigen Verstärkerkursen der M8 konnten Tatra-Traktionen gesichtet werden.
When we had dropped our stuff at the apartment we got back to see if anything had changed at the meeting. And I'm glad I did, this set of Tatra's had arrived.
