Obří důl
A glacial valley on the south side of Sněžka, with an open high mountain meadow and a stream at its base. You can look up at the steep slopes of Sněžka.
The Giant Valley (Obří důl) is a deep glacial valley extending north from Pec pod Sněžkou to the foot of Sněžka. Its floor has a stream, meadows, and a small chapel. The slopes on both sides show traces of avalanches and remnants of historical mining. The trail along the valley floor takes about 1.5 hours from Pec to the valley head, and then you climb the steep slope to Sněžka. It is a good choice for riding a cable car up and hiking down. Some areas close in winter.
