Do you like to go out in nature, but don't want to spend the whole day on long hikes? Labský důl (The Elbe Mine) in Špindlerův Mlýn is an ideal destination for short but unforgettable trips. With a route 11,3 km long, which you can complete in approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, there is a unique opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful parts of the Krkonoše Mountains without the need for a full-day trip.
Our tip:
For those who would like to extend their hiking route, we recommend continuing to Labský rokle (the Elbe Gorge). From there you can climb to the Labská bouda and up to pramen Labe (the Elbe spring) | 1,390 m above sea level, which adds another 10 km to the route. On the way back, you can choose several variants, for example via Zlaté návrší and Horní Mísečky, which increases the total length of the circuit to 20 km.
