Labský vodopád, Waterfall in the Krkonoše Mountains, Czech Republic
Labský vodopád is a 35-metre waterfall in Labská rokle, about 1 km southeast of the Elbe spring in the Krkonoše ridge, falling into Labský důl below Labská bouda. Below the fall follows over 200 m of stony rapids.
In 1859, one of the earlier owners of Labská bouda, the mountain hut above the falls, built a small reservoir to swell the flow of water over the 35-metre drop for visitors. The measure was later abandoned for nature-protection reasons, and remains of the reservoir are said to be visible below the hut.
