1970 · 1974 The world championships, and the building that came with themMajstrovstvá sveta a stavby, ktoré s nimi prišli

In 1970 Štrbské Pleso hosted the world championships in nordic skiing, and the Tatras were rebuilt to receive them: new ski jumps and a sports complex at the lake, new hotels, a new cabin cable car at Tatranská Lomnica, and the rack railway from Štrba — out of use since the 1930s — put back into service to carry the crowds up from the main line. Four years later a huge camping complex, Eurocamp FICC, opened at Tatranská Lomnica. This is the decade in which most of the concrete in the Tatras was poured, and it is also the decade in which conservationists first found themselves arguing loudly against a state that was building inside its own national park.V roku 1970 hostilo Štrbské Pleso majstrovstvá sveta v severských lyžiarskych disciplínach a Tatry na ne prestavali: pri plese vyrástli nové mostíky a športový areál, pribudli hotely, v Tatranskej Lomnici nová kabínková lanovka a zubačku zo Štrby — od 30. rokov mimo prevádzky — vrátili na trať, aby vozila davy z hlavnej trate hore. O štyri roky neskôr otvorili v Tatranskej Lomnici veľký kempingový areál Eurocamp FICC. V tomto desaťročí sa v Tatrách vyliala väčšina betónu — a v tom istom desaťročí sa ochranári po prvý raz nahlas postavili proti štátu, ktorý staval vnútri vlastného národného parku.
