Crampons are highly recommended at this time of year.

Starting from Rusinowa Polana, after reaching the highest point with a characteristic rock outcrop, it is worth going a little further along the trail to the next peak, equally scenic but free from tourists who usually end their trip at the first one :)

The 1,356 m (4,500 ft) peak with the name "Horse" is Mały Murań in the Bielskie Tatras, where "Murański Koń" refers to the rocky slab on its southeastern ridge. It is the rocky culmination of the main ridge, with a clearly visible wall descending into the Jaworowa Valley, and the name comes from this distinctive formation.

Rusinowa Polana is one of the oldest and most distinctive mountain glades in the entire Tatra Mountains. Documents date it back to the 17th century as a sheep grazing site and a boundary point for former landownership. Traces of this history are still visible here—the traditional layout of huts, the wide meadow, and the fact that even today, seasonal grazing continues here, preventing the glade from overgrowing as quickly as many others. There are numerous wooden benches for resting. However, the glade's greatest asset is the view—a stunning panorama of the Bielskie and High Tatras.

From Gęsia Szyja (Geece's Neck), one of the most distinctive panoramas in the Polish Tatra Mountains unfolds. The Bielskie Tatras can be seen to the east, followed by the High Tatras axis with Gerlach, Lodowy Szczyt, Rysy, and Mięguszowieckie, and to the west, the gentle, forested shoulders of Wołoszyn contrasting with the sharp lines of the walls and ridges. You can also see Czerwone Wierchy, Kasprowy Wierch, Giewont, and even Babia Góra.

Everything was nice, but do expect chaos. We paid for emergency stay, which we already knew upfront about sleeping on the floor of the dining area. But as this is our 1st hike in Poland, we only realise that hiking boots are allowed in the hut, which is something new to us, by the time the dinner is off, no one clean the floor and we just have to secure a small spot under the table along with 60 other hiker in the dining area. There are only 2 shower rooms (shared among male and female) for the whole hut, do cater for a few hours of waiting in line if you can't skip a shower. I survived with just some wet wipes.

A very nice clearing (a bit crowded) with an interesting panorama of the highest peaks of the Tatra Mountains.

For me it's a bit overrated, the views are not as stunning as others' opinions would suggest, I don't know if this approach is worth it ;)
