The wreckage of the Junkers JU-52/3m g4e plane, which crashed at the end of World War II, crashed on the Giant's Ridge below Sněžka. It was the biggest aviation tragedy in the Krkonoše Mountains, when more than 20 people died - three pilots and transported wounded German soldiers. In 1998, the remains of the wreckage were transported by helicopter to Malá Úpa, where the best-preserved engine can be seen in the information center and the other remains next to the cemetery wall near the church of St. Peter and Paul.
