What a lovely day for a soccer game, here in the Slovak Ore Mountains! The sun is shining, the grass is green, the boys of the TJ Tatran Čierny Balog club are in sharp form.
Slovakian soccer fans’ view of game obstructed by a whole train passing through
Also, there’s a train coming.
The Čierny Hron Railway was built in the early 1900s. Since 1992, it has run as a tourist line, from which you can see the forests and valleys of the Slovak Ore Mountains, as well as the town of Dobroč‘s soccer field and the number of freckles and/or pimples on the faces of each of the players.
The field can be found here, though the stands are covered in shadow:
Did you get to give a train engineer a high-five at your last soccer game?
Didn’t think so.
