Hořejší Vrchlabí: Hotels and Accommodation

In the cadastral area of Hořejší Vrchlabi, the Labská Gorge is protected as a natural monument. Its erosional formations include potholes, rapids, waterfalls, and 53 giant potholes formed by erosion. Along the Elbe, the Labská Hiking Trail provides an 8 km hike to Hořejší Vrchlabi.

Nature

The Labská Gorge thus combines a protected landscape with an exceptionally diverse river course: in addition to potholes and rapids, its erosional formations also include waterfalls and the 53 giant potholes.

Culture and History

The old forge in Hořejší Vrchlabi is a protected national monument and a valuable example of traditional architecture in the Krkonoše Mountains. The former forge is a two-storey building, partly constructed using log-building techniques, with a gallery running around part of the log-built living room. At the same time, it is a timber house built on a masonry ground floor.

Opposite the forge stands the Baroque Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk, built in 1709. It has been a protected national monument since 1958. Its imposing octagonal dome is crowned by a lantern with wooden columns.

A remnant of the old Silesian Stezke through the Krkonoše Mountains, known as “Kamenná cesta”, has also survived from Hořejší Vrchlabi to the present day.

Local Character
