Červená hora (1,333 m a.s.l.) is a rewarding summit in the Hrubý Jeseník range of the Czech Sudetes, sitting right on the classic ridge trail that links Červenohorské sedlo with Keprník and Šerák. Its open summit meadow, rocky outcrops and surprisingly rich flora make it a highlight worth stepping off the main trail for.
The atmosphere here is quiet and genuinely alpine. The small bald summit opens up views across the rolling ridges of Jeseník, while the rocky outcrops lend the landscape a rugged edge. The eastern slopes fall within the Sněžná kotlina Nature Reserve, so the wildlife and vegetation are exceptionally well preserved. Just below the summit lies the Vřesová studánka spring — a peaceful spot where, in times past, a Chapel of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows and a tourist hut once stood.
How to reach the summitThe chapel and hut that once stood by the Vřesová studánka spring are long gone, but the spring still flows — a quiet reminder of the mountain's rich tourism history.
