Jasanový vrch (800 m a.s.l.) is a peaceful forested summit in the Rychlebské hory (Rychleby Mountains) of the Czech Jeseníky region, sitting within the municipality of Vápenná. It is a perfect escape for hikers who value quiet trails, dense woodland and unspoiled nature over crowded viewpoints.
Nearly 78% of the Vápenná area is covered by forest, and Jasanový vrch rises right in the heart of this green expanse. The terrain is characteristic of the Hornolipovská hornatina sub-unit — gently rolling ridges, stream valleys and mixed woodland that changes colour with every season. Spring brings fresh greenery, autumn transforms the hillsides into warm shades of gold and rust, and winter drapes the slopes in snow for a serene, almost fairy-tale atmosphere.
How to reach the summitWhile in the area, do not miss the nearby Na Pomezí caves and the striking abandoned marble and granite quarries around Vápenná — they add a fascinating industrial-heritage flavour to this naturally beautiful corner of Moravia-Silesia.
