We present phase-resolved spectral and multicolor CCD-photometric observations of the eclipsing polar RX J0719.2+6557 obtained with relatively high time (~600sec/15 sec) and spectral (2.1 A) resolution when the system was in a high accretion state. The trailed spectrograms clearly reveal the presence of three different line components with different width and radial velocity variation. The Balmer emission lines, as well as higher excitation He II line, contain significant contributions from the X/UV-illuminated hemisphere of the companion star. We were able to resolve all three components by line deblending and by means of Doppler tomography were able to unambigously identify the emission components with the secondary star, the ballistic part of the accretion stream and the magnetically funnelled part of the stream. The light curves and eclipse profiles provided additional information about the system.
