Łabski Szczyt, Mountain summit in Karkonosze Mountains, Poland.

Veilchenstein is a summit in the Karkonosze range, also known as the Giant Mountains, in southwestern Poland near the Czech border. It sits between two other peaks and is reached by marked hiking trails that also connect nearby mountain shelters.

In the 1800s, the peak was noted in geographical records as part of the source area of the Elbe River, which brought it wider attention in European river geography. Since then, it has remained a fixed point in maps and scientific descriptions of the Giant Mountains.

The Polish-Czech Friendship Trail, marked in red, passes about 40 metres south of and below the summit rocks, which stand in Zone I of the Karkonosze National Park and are closed to walkers. The name Veilchenstein, or Violet Stone, refers to the violets once noted on the slopes.

The summit is best reached via the marked trails that also link the surrounding mountain shelters, which serve as useful reference points along the way. In winter, ridge conditions can be harsh, so proper gear is a good idea before setting out.

The Elbe springs from Labská louka on the southwest slope, less than a kilometre from the top, not from the summit itself. The red-marked Polish-Czech Friendship Trail passes about 40 metres south of and below the summit rocks, which stand in Zone I of the Krkonoše National Park and cannot be entered.
