Portášovy boudy

Portášovy boudy, Mountain lodge and restaurant in Pec pod Sněžkou, Czech Republic

Portášovy boudy (also called Portášky, German Hoferbauden) are mountain huts in the Krkonoše, north of Velká Úpa in Pec pod Sněžkou and west of Pěnkavčí vrch (1104.8 m). A chairlift runs up from Velká Úpa to the top station, where the Horská chata Portášky stands and operates year-round. Trails from the huts lead to Růžohorky, Sněžka, Dolní Malá Úpa via the Pěnkavčí cesta, and Janovy Boudy.

Portášovy boudy, German Hoferbauden, take their name from the Portáš family of mountain guides; the Czech plural boudy denotes the timber mountain huts of the Krkonoše. The site lies north of Velká Úpa, part of Pec pod Sněžkou, and west of Pěnkavčí vrch (1104.8 m). A chairlift now runs up from Velká Úpa to the huts.

The Czech name Portášovy Boudy and the German Hoferbauden both appear on maps and trail signs, alongside the short form Portášky used for the chairlift's top station. The Horská chata Portášky at that station stays open all year, so hikers and skiers find it serving in winter as well as summer.

The chairlift from Velká Úpa, part of Pec pod Sněžkou, ends just below Horská chata Portášky, which stays open all year. From the top station, marked trails lead to Růžohorky and Sněžka, and the Pěnkavčí cesta descends to Dolní Malá Úpa; a separate path connects to Janovy Boudy.

The chairlift from Velká Úpa ends just below Horská chata Portášky, so the lodge is reached on foot or by cable car, not by road. From here the Pěnkavčí cesta descends to Dolní Malá Úpa, while another path leads to Janovy Boudy.
