Vrchlabí, Mountain municipality in Trutnov District, Czech Republic
The town spreads along the river Elbe at the foot of the Giant Mountains, containing three distinct districts: Hořejší Vrchlabí, Podhůří, and central Vrchlabí.
In the 16th century, Vrchlabí emerged as a metallurgy center under Kryštof Gendorf's leadership, receiving town rights in 1533 and establishing a weaving guild by 1590.
The Renaissance castle complex, monastery buildings, and town park form an urban monument zone that preserves the architectural heritage of different historical periods.
The Škoda Auto factory provides employment opportunities for residents, while numerous ski resorts in the surrounding mountains attract visitors throughout winter seasons.
The town manufactured organs during the 17th and 18th centuries, contributing instruments to churches across central Europe.
