Łabski Szczyt
Introduction '''Łabski Szczyt''' or '''Violík''' (in Polish and Czech) () is a mountain peak located in the western Giant Mountains on the Czech-Polish border. The source of the Elbe River, one of Europe's major rivers, is situated on the southern (Czech) slopes of the mountain.
Situation In the main range the very distinct peak is situated between Szrenica (separated from it by Mokra Pass) and Śnieżne Kotły, the next peak eastwards being Wielki Szyszak. The summit is entirely on the Polish side.
Tourism The Polish–Czech Friendship Trail crosses the summit. Two mountain huts in the vicinity: Polish ''Schronisko pod Łabskim Szczytem'' and Czech ''Labská bouda'' – a modern concrete eight floor block, completed in 1975, a representative of brutalist architecture.
