High poles (1 464m)
The second highest peak of the Jeseníky Mountains
Vysoká hole (1,464 m above sea level) is the second highest mountain in the Hrubý Jeseník. The peak itself, but not at all significant. It basically consists of a large plateau.

Opposite, you can see the much more dominant Praděd. continue reading
Red mountain
Overgrown peak
The red marked ridge continues to Červenohorské sedlo, but we will continue along the green and after a while we will reach the Červená hora crossroads. However, the peak of Červená hora (1,333 m above sea level) is still about 350 meters away. The peak itself is overgrown with cypress trees and the hiking trail bypasses it, but it is definitely worth taking a short detour along the yellow road to a group of low rocks, from which there is a beautiful view of the surroundings. continue reading
