Some stories about the Tatra huts have still not been told.
Like the secret visit of the Pope to Sliezsky dom, drawing matches on Rysy, or a certain Czech hiker and her dowry. We invited journalist Samo Marec, whose dad was the hut keeper at three of them. Matúš Mahút captured their atmosphere, and we added fun facts and timeless tips. We also added original photos by Jakub Čaprnka, hut illustrations by Adrián Mach and drawings by Ivana Čobejová. The result is a book of untold stories of the Tatra huts. You'll find tales and reflections in it that no mountain lover should miss.
Because we love the mountains.
And when we carried our Poustre up to the Tatra huts, we fell in love with the huts too. We said to ourselves that they deserve much more space than a single print. After all, it doesn't fully express what these beacons in a sea of rock mean. We said we'd write a book about it. But not just any book…
Did you know that...
Tam Hore, Na Chrbte and Kade? Tade! form a trilogy of mountain reportage books. The first explores the huts of the Tatras, the second the mountain porters, the third the trail markers. After that, we came down from the ridges with the book Doma.
All three books come with a premium cloth cover. So even with frequent reading they won't get scuffed, and they'll stand out even more on your bookshelf, on your coffee table. Or wherever you choose to display them.
More than 6,000 happy customers and Martinus Book of the Year 2022 are hopefully guarantee enough that they please the eye inside and out.

Specs and materials
Tam Hore stands out not only for its content and the quality of its visuals, but also for how it is made. The page count finally settled at 272, even though that means its thickness is more like a collector's piece than a practical guide.
And the 280×215 mm size? Almost a museum art print. This time the paper comes all the way from Sweden. We chose it specially to make your experience of the large-format photographs as authentic as possible.
Carbon footprint
Even a paper book has a footprint. We calculated it for the whole of 2025 and divided it per item: DEFRA 2025 emission factors, transport by parcels, services and marketing by spend (GHG Protocol). We keep refining the method together with our suppliers.

What we do about it
- We print in Slovakia and Czechia. No air freight. Our warehouse sits next to the printer in Orava, so finished products do not travel for nothing.
- We do not shrink-wrap diaries one by one. We use bulk packaging to cut down on plastic.
- We ship in recycled cardboard and, when we can, in boxes our suppliers sent us goods in.
- For trips and small transfers we book shared transport and BlaBlaCar.
- We print to pre-orders. If something does not sell, it does not end up in the bin but in our outlet or in schools.
What you can do
- Order more things at once. One parcel instead of three.
- Choose a pickup point or locker instead of home delivery. So the courier does not drive out for a single parcel.
- Buy second quality and sale items. We also work with production seconds. Everything usable is cheaper in our second quality section. You save money and rescue something that would not get a chance elsewhere.
- Buy only what you will really use. The smallest footprint belongs to the diary that never had to be made.
