Krkonoše National Park

The park spans 363 square kilometers across the Giant Mountains, featuring alpine meadows, dense forests, and the peak of Sněžka at 1,603 meters elevation.

The Czech government established Krkonoše National Park in 1963, designating protected zones to preserve the natural heritage of the Giant Mountains region.

The park administration center in Vrchlabí includes the Krkonoše Museum, housed in an Augustinian monastery displaying regional artifacts and mountain life exhibits.

Marked hiking trails connect mountain towns like Špindlerův Mlýn, Harrachov, and Pec pod Sněžkou, with cable cars providing access to higher elevations.

The Pančavský Waterfall, reaching 250 meters in height, stands as the tallest waterfall in the Czech Republic within the Labský důl Valley.
