Rysy, Mountain peak in High Tatras, Poland and Slovakia.
The three-summit granite mountain range reaches its highest point at 2,501 meters, marking the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
The initial ascent of Rysy occurred in 1840 when mountaineers Ede Blásy and guide Ján Ruman-Driečny successfully reached the summit for the first time.
The mountain represents a central element of Polish mountaineering tradition and serves as part of the Crown of Polish Mountains collection.
The ascent from Morskie Oko lake involves a 15-kilometer trail with an elevation gain of 1,520 meters, requiring approximately 6.5 hours one way.
The mountain features sections secured with chains for safety, particularly along steep drops where granite formations create challenging climbing conditions.
