About the trip

A beautiful mountain trip to a glacial valley with one of the most famous waterfalls in the Giant Mountains.

The Labský důl belongs to the most impressive valleys in the Giant Mountains. It offers dramatic slopes, mountain nature, views of the glacial valley and the possibility to continue to the Pančava waterfall.

The trip is suitable for visitors who want to experience a real mountain atmosphere. Depending on the chosen route, it can be a pleasant half-day trip or a longer full-day hike with views of ridges and waterfalls.

The weather in the mountains can change quickly, so we recommend sturdy shoes, suitable clothing and plenty of water. With good visibility, the surroundings of the Labský dol are among the most beautiful places in the Giant Mountains.

Practical tips

Parking

Use the marked parking lots in Špindlerův Mlýn. They tend to fill up quickly on weekends and holidays.

The best time

The best trip is from spring to autumn. After rains, the falls tend to be more prominent, but the trails can be slippery.

Appropriate footwear

We recommend sturdy hiking shoes. The route can be stony, wet and more demanding in places.

Snacks

Refreshment options can be found in Špindlerův Mlýn and, depending on the chosen route, also at the mountain huts.

The weather

Check the forecast before your trip. In the ridge areas there can be wind and rapid weather changes.
