This made me laugh when taking the bus in Slovakia

  1. I totally get it. Once I went to neighbouring village to drop off my cousin at 2 o’clock in the morning. The good portion of the road was covered by frogs. I felt bursting of so many of them under my wheels … could not avoid them.

  2. That bus line reaches fairly deep into the “forest park”, which is an actual forest and the current administration designated it a park area – logging is prohibited and there is elevated protection of wildlife. The road also runs along the stream of Vydrica, which is so named after otters that are slowly returning to the area (it is the same stream that runs through the ZOO, and the Botanical garden, incidentally).
    There really is no need for a bus line there – most people can walk from Zelezna studnicka, it’s not a difficult trip. Which is why the buses are sometimes suspended for these reasons – it’s not a major line. Hope you enjoyed the visit, if you went into the forest park.

    My aunts 1st husband was monitoring this back in the early 70s. It was the theme of his dissertation thesis.

    it’s so the frogs don’t have to play a game of life and death

  5. Is that laughing issue with you in the room?

    Look into some people dealing with this frog issue in forest park of Bratislava. They are spending whole days past month with frogs there. Lots of people sharing their work on Instagram etc

    Lots of frogs but also Fire salamander on the roads of Bratislava forest park this time of year. And thats vulnerable species.

    Its really important to look on the road in the park even if you are on the bike whole spring (:
