Klasterska Lhota: Pramen Labe
Few places in the Krkonoše Mountains have a history as closely tied to the beginnings of the Elbe as Pramen Labe. On Labská louka, within Krkonoše National Park, this is the recognised source of the river known in Czech as Labe. A stone well marks the spot, while the surrounding upland belongs to a protected mountain landscape of peat bogs, meadows and spruce woodland. From here the Elbe crosses Bohemia, continues through Germany and reaches the North Sea. The source monument carries the coats of arms of towns associated with the river, recalling the waterway’s long role in trade and travel. Pramen Labe connects a quiet mountain origin with one of central Europe’s major rivers.

The small municipality lies in Trutnov District, where cultivated fields meet wooded slopes and routes lead toward higher mountain country. Its name recalls a medieval Carthusian monastery that once stood here, giving this modest settlement a distinct link to the region’s religious past. The area illustrates the transition between the Krkonoše foothills and the wider landscape around Trutnov.

The Krkonoše Mountains and the upper Elbe define much of Královéhradecký kraj - mountain resorts and winter sports have long supported its tourism economy. On the Polish border, Sněžka reaches 1,603 metres, making it Czechia’s highest mountain, and stands within Krkonoše National Park. The Elbe rises in these mountains before flowing through the region’s lower country. Hradec Králové, the regional capital, combines a historic core with notable early-20th-century architecture linked to Josef Gočár and Jan Kotěra. Farther east, the sandstone formations of the Adršpach–Teplice Rocks introduce a sharply different terrain.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
