"A romantic nature postcard in the original sense of the word, The Tatras a Mystery explores the mysterious interconnectedness of mountains and the human being, whose essence is hidden in the depth of nature. Man will never be ready to understand the absolute, transcendent value of nature; s/he can touch it, try to know it through its details and love it through his/her own meekness. By revealing the forces of nature human beings embark on their own internal journey of spiritual exploration," a bulletin of International festival of mountains films and adventure Bratislava 2003 wrote about the film.

"Mountains give us many questions, but no answer is really exact. There is still something hidden inside, the zone of silence. This answer contains a mystery. The mystery, that is delicate as clouds during a wonderful day and the slow sunrise, but also stirring and scary as night thunderbolts. When a man cannot answer the question, why he must always come to the mountains, he evidences, that he is seeking. And that seeking is a main idea of this film," says Pavol Barabas, renowned Slovak filmmaker and traveller.
