Refúgios de montanha nas Montanhas dos Gigantes

Iconic Mountain Huts

The Krkonoše range features a historic network of mountain huts, known as 'boudy,' situated along the Czech-Polish border. These structures range from 18th-century timber shelters to modern alpine hotels, often positioned at altitudes exceeding 1,300 meters. Located along the main ridge trails near peaks like Sněžka, these huts provide essential refuge, traditional regional cuisine, and a vital infrastructure for high-altitude hikers and cross-country skiers.
