Prinz-Heinrich-Baude, Mountain lodge in Karkonosze Mountains, Poland.

The lodge stands at 1415 meters elevation near Wielki Staw, featuring a three-story structure with views over the Jelenia Góra Valley.

Gustav Elsner initiated construction on May 14, 1888, and the lodge officially opened on June 8, 1889, with 21 rooms and 71 beds.

A meteorological station operated at the lodge until 1937, collecting essential weather data for the entire Karkonosze mountain region.

The facility expanded to 30 rooms in the 1930s and included stables, offering winter sports activities and sledding routes to Karpacz and Milków.

Hans Bruno Andresen performed the first glider flight from the lodge vicinity on May 7, 1927, marking early aviation history in the Karkonosze Mountains.
