Elbe Falls
Labský vodopád
A waterfall where the Elbe drops into its glacier-carved valley about 2 km downstream from its source, with a 45-meter drop. An observation deck and an Elbe mountain hut sit at the top.
The Elbe Falls lie about 2 km downstream from the source. Here the river plunges over the edge of the ridge into the glacier-carved Elbe valley below. A viewing platform at the top offers views over the entire valley, and the nearby Elbe mountain hut serves meals. It is about 40 minutes' walk from the source, or you can climb up the steep stone steps from the valley, which is more strenuous. Upstream, a sluice gate releases water at fixed times to increase the flow, so watch for signs on site.
