The Labsky dul valley to the source of the river Labe

Climb up the wild glacial valley along the river Labe to its symbolic source. You will walk from the very bottom of the glacial karsts to the top of the Labe pits, from whose perpendicular walls both the Pancavsky and Labsky waterfalls fall. Pay tribute to Europe's great river by wandering upstream, follow the meanders it has cut into the Labsky dul and honour the watery element by visiting its source. The iconic sites of the Krkonose Mountains await you, but you have to earn them.
