Soutok Labe s Orlicí, Monumental group of sculptures at Jiráskovy Sady, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.

The Soutok Labe s Orlicí sculptures depict two elongated human figures representing the confluence of the Elbe and Orlice rivers in Eastern Bohemia.

Created by sculptor Josef Škoda and unveiled in August 1934, the artwork required substantial funding of 40,000 Czech crowns from the municipal interest earnings.

Initially met with public controversy due to its nude figures, the sculpture evolved into a recognized cultural monument representing the natural heritage of Hradec Králové.

The monument stands at an elevation of 231 meters above sea level, with cycling paths and walking trails connecting both riverbanks for visitors.

The sculpture group marks kilometer 993.2 of the Elbe River, serving as a geographical reference point for navigation and research purposes.
