<div id="ygrps-yiv-314116385">Rysy actually has two summits - one of 2503.0m, which is entirely <br/>
within Slovakia, and one of 2499.6m, which lies exactly on the border <br/>
and is the highest point in Poland. If the concrete pillar in the <br/>
picture is on the Polish Top, it should be marked &quot;P+S&quot; on the top, <br/>
which unfortunately we can&#39;t see.<br/>
The border post is a few metres lower than the summit, and is the <br/>
only official border crossing in the Tatras. If you cross in bad <br/>
weather and the guards aren&#39;t there, then you are in serious trouble <br/>
if you&#39;re found without a stamp in your passport on the way back.<br/>
<br/>
America&#39;s Roof is actually pretty hopeless with regard to country <br/>
highest points, by the way - but not as bad as the CIA &quot;Fact&quot;Book.<br/>
