A beautifully situated mountain hut under Śnieżka, on the Polish-Czech border. The hut is located at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level. There are plenty of places to stay, but as you can imagine, this place is very popular, so book in advance.

Good food and beer. Beautiful views of the Karkonosze Mountains. The land is often covered in clouds. Labská bouda - Czech tourist shelter in the Giant Mountains, located at an altitude of 1,340 meters above sea level, above the upper edge of the Labský důl valley. The sources of the Elbe River are located 1 kilometer away (hence the name of the facility). It is located in the Karkonosze National Park. The origins of the shelter date back to 1830, when an enterprising woman, a certain die Blasse, built a small stand made of stones and bark in this place, where she sold goat cheese, milk and vodka. Later, the cottage was rebuilt to accommodate tourists. Its owners were families with the surnames Devátý and Šír from Rokytnice nad Jizerou. In the years 1878-1879, a real shelter was finally built - the mountain hut was built by Count Jan Harrach. In the next decade it was further expanded. The Count also intervened by establishing the first nature reserve in the Karkonosze Mountains in 1904. The Elbfallbaude at that time was very popular –

The Old Silesian Cottage in its current form dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. There has been a hut at this point for much longer. Theodor Körner stayed here. You can sit comfortably on the terrace and drink a beer and enjoy the view of the valley.
