Vrchlabi

The upper Elbe defines the setting of Vrchlabí — the river runs through this town below the Krkonoše Mountains, linking its compact centre with valleys that rise toward the Czech Republic’s highest range. Long associated with mountain travel and local crafts, Vrchlabí remains a working town as well as a useful starting point for the surrounding highlands. The 16th-century Renaissance Vrchlabí Castle and surviving timbered houses on Náměstí Míru give the centre a clear historical focus. Nearby, Krkonoše National Park protects alpine meadows, glacial landforms and the upper reaches of the Elbe.
