You walk along the asphalt road that leads around Myslivna and will take you to the bottom of the climb to Labská bouda, which is the most challenging part of the route, but one of the most beautiful.

After a short break, you will continue along the edge towards the Pančava waterfall, which boasts an impressive height of 148 meters and is one of the highest in the Czech Republic.
The next stop on the route is Vrbatova bouda, which belongs to the chain of summit huts, which represent solid points of reference for all inhabitants and visitors of the Giant Mountains.
The route continues along the road towards Horní Mísečky and then down to Špindlerův Mlýn along the water supply road.

It is a popular stop for tourists heading to the source of the Elbe. Hotel Labská bouda is located in the first zone of the Giant Mountains National Park. It is situated at an altitude of 1340 m on the Elbe meadow northwest of Špindlerův Mlýn, less than 1 km from the source of the Elbe. The modern building from 1975 bears the same name as the inn, which burned down in 1965. However, the history of this place dates back to 1830, when an enterprising woman allegedly sold goat products and spirits to passers-by and had a small booth made of stones, bark and brushwood.
