Access to the starting point:
At the Lysa Polana border crossing between Poland and Slovakia, turn right (towards Slovakia) before the bridge. After a good kilometre, there is a large parking lot (990 m above sea level) on your right. If you are early, you will have to walk 8. 5 km from the parking lot along the Ribje Creek Valley to the hut by the Morsko oko lake. If you are later, you can take a carriage to the starting point, as they start running around 8 or 9 o'clock (they don't have a timetable, so there is no set time).
Path description:
From the hut, continue left along the Morsko oko lake (you can also turn right, as the paths merge). After a 15-minute walk, you are on the other side of the lake, where you will have a short climb (20 minutes) up to the Black Lake at 1580 m. a. s. l. (1580 m. a. s. l. ).
From here to the top is a 3 hour and 20 minute walk. The gentle path leads us along the lake again to the other end. From here on, the trail climbs continuously. All the way to the intermediate point of Bula pod Rysami (2054 m above sea level), from where you have a wonderful view of the lakes. We walk along rocky "stairs". There is still a good hour of walking ahead of us, which is protected and equipped with chains. The top is quite steep and there is not much space to sit.
