Šindelka Museum of Forestry and Hunting

In the building known in Harrachov as Šindelka, roofing material - shingles - was produced from the beginning of the 19th century. Today, however, nothing is produced here; the last 60,000 shingles were used for the roof of the old Labská bouda in 1934.

Deep forests cover a large part of the Krkonoše National Park. Their care costs our foresters a lot of effort. In the exhibition we will be happy to show you how the forest is managed, but also how and why the wood is harvested. Wild animals are an essential part of the Giant Mountains forests. In our exhibition you can see with your own eyes the winter protection and the diverse wildlife that lives in the forests. Throughout the exhibition you can count 32 stuffed animals, including deer, roe deer and wild boar. A popular attraction is a working model of a splash dam - a device built in the Krkonoše Mountains since the 16th century to float felled timber over water to lower elevations.
