Hike through the White Elbe valley

The path from Špindlerův Mlýn leads for a long time along the blue tourist sign along with the route to the Labský dol. At Dívčí lávka you will disconnect and continue east to the Bílé Labe valley. The road still runs on asphalt (it is also a wheelchair path). After three kilometers from the center, I am at the first big attraction of this hike – the Great Waterfall

The entire first part of this hike is characterized by views of a number of small rapids and waterfalls of the White Elbe.

There are a number of places where you can spread out on the rock slabs and enjoy and relax.

Especially for families with children, the playground „U Svozu“ is an essential stop on this hike. A short distance away is the Balvanový waterfall.

After crossing the bridge, you will soon see the second important waterfall on the course of the White Elbe – Plotnový.

After six kilometers of walking from Špindlerův Mlýn, the first, easy, stage of this hike ends. A comfortable paved path ends at the U Bílého Labe hut, so it is usually the end for strollers.

From the cottage, the path climbs significantly steeper along a narrow mountain footpath. The first distant views slowly open up and below you is a whole series of small, artificially constructed weirs.

Another famous place on this hike is the „avalanche rapid“. Here, the trail traverses rock plates where snow avalanches and quite often stones fall. For most of the year, this humid Aklju place is traditionally full of ice in winter.

The valley becomes shallower and the slopes are full of rocks

As the height increases, the view also opens up to the Labský dol with Zlatý návrší (1,411m above sea level)

The landscape is changing – the spruce trees are gradually disappearing. Between the round ridges of the Čertov and sStříbrné hills lies the Stříbrná Bystřina

The path finally ascends to the plateau and into the Krkonoše tundra.

You have the last steps left to Luční bouda, an important crossroads of tourist routes. In Luční bouda you can have refreshments or accommodation if it suits you. You can go back to Špindlerův Mlýn in several different ways.
