Rusinowa Polana
An open high-mountain meadow facing the High Tatras. Herders' huts and grazing sheep sit in front of a line of Tatra peaks, making it an easy and rewarding viewpoint.
Rusinowa Polana lies on the east side of the Morskie Oko route. It can be reached on foot in about an hour from Wierch Poroniec or Palenica Białczańska, along a gentle slope. The meadow has herders' huts, and in summer you can buy freshly made sheep cheese. Ahead lies a panoramic view of the Tatra range from Giewont to Rysy, and the sunrises and sunsets are especially beautiful.
The Gęsia Szyja viewpoint nearby is another 40 minutes uphill. A national park ticket is required.
