Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Rysy shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Rysy offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Rysy at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Rysy? Wrong! If the Rysy is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Rysy then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Rysy? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Rysy and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Rysy wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Rysy then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Rysy site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Rysy, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Rysy, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Rysy (, ) is a mountain in the crest of the
High Tatras, at the Poland-Slovakia border. Rysy has three peaks: middle (2,503 m), north-western (2,499 m) and south-eastern (2,473 m). The north-western peak is the
Extreme points of Poland of Poland, while the highest of the three peaks is just on the Slovak side of the border.
Name
One theory is that the
Polish language and
Slovak language name
Rysy ("scratches", "crevices") comes from the series of gullies at the western slopes of the
Žabie ridge. However,
rysy may also mean
Lynxes in Slovak language (sg.
rys).
The Hungarian language name
Tengerszem-csúcs as well as the
German language name
Meeraugspitze signifies
"Eye of the Sea"-peak and is derived from
Morskie Oko (the
Eye of the Sea), a glacial lake at the foot of the mountain.
History
The first known ascent was made in 1840, by Ede Blásy and his guide, Ján Ruman-Driečny (the elder). The first winter ascent was completed in
1884 by Theodor Wundt and Jakob Horvay. It is claimed by some that
Vladimir Lenin climbed the mountain some time in the early 1910s.
Tourism
Rysy is the highest Tatra mountain available to individual tourists (without a guide). It is possible to ascend the peak from the Slovakian side starting at
Štrbské pleso and passing the
Chata pod Rysmi or from the Polish side coming from the Morskie Oko.Since
2000, there is a pedestrian
border control at the peak, operating between 1st July and 30 September. Its opening hours are 7:00-19:00.At the altitude of 2,250 m on the Slovakian side there is a mountain chalet
Chata pod Rysmi, which is open only during the summer season (from May till October).
