Labská bouda 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 located 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 allegedly enterprising woman sold goat products and spirits to passers-by and had a small booth made of stones, bark and grates.
A permanent meteorological station and a solar and ozone observatory of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute in Hradec Králové are located at Labská bouda.
