Route to one of the most beautiful viewpoint summits of the High Tatras - though also quite popular. On beautiful summer days, you will hardly be alone...

A bit of surefootedness required at the key pointRoadbook
After crossing the railway tracks at the Popradske Pleso stop, turn onto the path on the left side of the stream before the bridge (you can also walk on the road - but it is more boring. At Popradske Pleso, both paths meet again). Blue marking. A little after Popradske Pleso, the path to Rysy branches off to the right, red marking. Then there are many switchbacks going upwards before reaching the key point secured with chains. Often a queue here. Past the Rysy hut to the saddle and then a bit exposed to the summit.
