And never more so enchanting than the exciting arrival of spring in Slovakia. Brilliant hues of lilac dot lush green meadows as the tiny buds of crocuses start to bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brilliant backdrop is a boon for butterflies, bees and birds, which shrug off their winter mantle to enjoy the warmth. You&#8217;ll be hard-pressed not to join them, flinging yourself into the colourful glades for a bit of timeout amidst the epic mountain views. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT<\/em><\/strong><em>: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/destinations\/europe\/slovakia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><em>Slovakia Destination Guide<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spring-fever-in-the-slovakia-tatra-mountains\">Spring fever in the Slovakia Tatra Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the chill of winter subsides and the snow starts to melt, the adrenalin-fuelled ski slopes of the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia give way to lush meadows and the promise of a warm spring.

There are over 1400 species of plants in the Slovakia Tantras region. Some of them are endemic and some are glacial relics that have survived through ice ages for millions of years. Consequently, they are all highly protected. So, you can look and capture them on camera, but certainly don&#8217;t touch them and please do watch where you step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a keen eye out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Dryas octopetala<\/strong>: <\/em>A glacial relic beauty with eight white petals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><strong>Delphinium oxysepalum<\/strong>:<\/em> Slovakia is the only place on earth where you can see this endemic plant with big palm-shaped leaves and a mix of blue and purple flowers.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><strong>Campanula cochleariifolia<\/strong>: <\/em>A heart-shaped light-blue purplish coloured plant which loves rocky terrain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><strong>Ranunculus altitatrensis<\/strong>: <\/em>The humble buttercup, of which there are several types endemic to the High Tantras.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favourite bloom in these parts, however, is the delicate <strong><em>Crocus sativus<\/em><\/strong> (saffron crocus) that pops up as early as mid-March in the Tatra Mountains.
