Labská Reservoir, reservoir in the Czech Republic

Labská Reservoir is an artificial water body located in the Krkonoš Mountains near Špindlerův Mlýn, set within a valley surrounded by mountains and forests. The calm water surface reflects the sky and surrounding hills, with paved paths and mountain trails encircling the shores and offering views of the water and wooded slopes.

The dam was built between 1910 and 1916 by the Vienna firm Bratři Redlich & Berger to hold back snowmelt floods on the upper Elbe. A concrete double-headed eagle with the monarch's initials F. J. I. crowned the dam wall until Czechoslovakia's founding, when it was removed; in 1926 the initials were changed to RČ. Seepage forced repairs in 1939–1940, and uranium was mined beside the dam from 1953 to 1957.

The dam was originally called Krausovy boudy after a nearby mountain hut, and the German name Krausebauden-Stausee preserves this. On the dam crown, the double-headed eagle with the monarch's initials F. J. I. was removed after 1918, and in 1926 the initials were changed to RČ for Republika Československá.

The area is accessible year-round with parking available near the dam, and restaurants and refreshment stands are located along the trails. The paths around the reservoir are mostly flat and paved, making them suitable for families, though snow and winter conditions may make some routes more challenging.

The small hydroelectric plant in the dam body has a single Kaplan turbine with an output of 500 kW; it was commissioned in 1993, not 1994. The dam itself was built in 1910–1916 as the uppermost step of the Elbe cascade, capturing most of the snowmelt from the central Krkonoše.
