Romance and history on the ridges
At first, shelters for lumberjacks and shepherds were built on the Krkonoše glades. These became known as sheds. Gradually, the number of visitors to the mountains began to grow, and therefore they gradually became accommodation facilities. At first they slept in hay, but soon the sheds began to increase accommodation capacity and offer other services. Now these modernized huts are used by tourists and offer refreshments or accommodation. However, some have preserved their historic mountain character and are definitely worth a visit. Usually, tourists just stop by the huts for refreshments and continue on. But if you sleep on them, you will enjoy a romantic evening in comfort after the visitors leave.
