Petrovy Boudy, Mountain lodge in Špindlerův Mlýn, Czech Republic.

Petrovy Boudy is a mountain lodge settlement at 1,288 m on the Central Ridge of the Krkonoše, 5 km north of Špindlerův Mlýn and 200 m from the Polish border. The original buildings burned down on 1 August 2011; new buildings were erected on the old foundations from 2016 and reopened in 2020, offering apartments, a dormitory and a shelter.

A shepherd's hut of the Pittermann family is documented on the summer pasture from 1790; in 1811 Johann Pittermann replaced it with a year-round mountain lodge. His nephew Johann Zinecker, who bought it in 1844 for 400 gulden, added attic guest rooms in 1866. Vinzenz Zinecker had a four-storey hotel with a grassed flat roof built below the old chalet in 1886–1887, and in 1901 replaced the chalet with a 44-room guesthouse.

This mountain complex showcases traditional building styles typical of the Krkonoše region, with stone walls and timber details that reflect local craftsmanship. Visitors can see how mountain communities in Central Europe constructed their settlements using materials and methods suited to harsh alpine conditions.

The location is accessible by marked hiking trails and provides clear signage for navigation throughout the area. Visitors should prepare for weather changes at this elevation and bring layers of clothing suitable for cooler alpine conditions.

The main buildings burned down on 1 August 2011; the fire was reported at 9:00 and extinguished by 17:30. The site reopened in 2020 after new buildings were erected on the old foundations from 2016. The complex had been listed as a national cultural monument in 1997.
