Výrovka

Výrovka is a mountain hut located at 1356 meters (4450 feet) on the ridge between Pec pod Sněžkou and Špindlerův Mlýn, accessible throughout the year for shelter and meals. The building accommodates up to 65 guests and features the characteristic structure of alpine mountain huts in this region.

The hut was founded in the late 1800s and became a key stopping point for travelers crossing the Giant Mountains. Its long existence shows how important this ridge location has been for mountain travel throughout modern times.

The refuge reflects the hiking heritage of the region and serves as a gathering place where visitors from different backgrounds meet and share their mountain journeys. It represents how communities have historically centered around these high-altitude rest points.

The hut can be reached on foot via several hiking trails and sits on established routes connecting to nearby peaks and ridges. The best time to visit depends on your planned activities, since winter and summer offer very different conditions and opportunities.

During winter months, the hut maintains an artificial ice wall for climbing practice, attracting people who want to train in steep, technical conditions. This feature transforms the location into a specialized training ground beyond typical mountain shelter use.
