Rysy

About this place

The north western summit of Rysy is the highest point of Poland at a height of 2499 mts above sea level and therefore in the summer the mountain is climbed by a lot of people from the Polish side. It is a very steep uphill but does not require technical climbing. Separate climbing routes are some of the best in the country. The slopes on the Slovakian side are a lot gentler and therefore not less crowded in the high season. Rysy is the highest peak of Tatras accessible by marked route what explains its great popularity during summer season. Rysy summit offers one of the widest and richest summit panoramas in Tatras. By good weather conditions one can admire all prominent High Tatra peaks, several lakes, Low Tatra mountain range and Western Beskidy Mountains.
