The journey along the River Labe (the Elbe), 1154 km in length, begins in Labska louka meadow. Its symbolical source, adapted to suit tourist needs, is located at an altitude of 1386 m a.s.l. as a stone centring with feed and discharge water, paved area and benches. In 1968 a wall was added with the coloured coats of arms of 26 major cities which the Labe flows through on its way to the North Sea. The true source of the Labe lies some 300 m west of this place in Labska louka meadow but is not open to the public for nature conservation reasons.

The history of Labská bouda started in 1830, when a woman of great enterprise called die Blasse built a small shack of stones, bark and brushwood and used to sell goat cheese, milk and spirits. Later owners, the family Devát a Šíra from Rokytnice nad Jizerou extended the former simple building to accommodate people.
