The hike begins in Štrbské Pleso (1,355 m) from where we go up a slight hill to Trigant hill.
We continue along the contour to Popradské pleso tarn (1,500 m).
As we get to the crossroads, we turn towards the Mengusovská dolina valley. We then get to tarns called Žabie plesá (1,940 m) from where we go up the secured passage above the rock sill to Chata pod Rysmi mountain hut (2,250 m).
At this point, the most difficult part of the hike is behind us.
The first part of the final climb leads to Váha saddle (2,340 m) from where we can enjoy of a picturesque view to the Bielovodská dolina valley and to Galéria Ganku (2,461 m).
When in the saddle, we turn to climb up the ridge and we get under the peak of the Rysy mountains (2,503 m) by a narrow traverse.
After about one hour of walking from the mountain hut, we can benefit from a magnificent view of Morské oko tarn, Czarny staw (the tarn at the Polish side) and adjacent peaks from the top of the mountain.
It is possible to return the same way.
The trail can also start from the Tatra Electric Railway stop – TEŽ Popradské pleso.
