To the Source of the River Labe with Children

There are places in the Krkonose that everyone wants to see. The source of the River Labe (the Elbe) and the Pancavsky waterfall are certainly among them. Before you reach the symbolic source of the greatest Czech river, your children may try to step into the crystal-clear waters of the Pancava brook and hop on the stones while you enjoy the beautiful views.

Don’t forget that these places should also be protected. They are best enjoyed outside the main season.
