Distance 32 km

On the ridge of Hrubý Jeseník is a rock formation at an altitude of 1 438 m above sea level. The rocks are composed of slate and gneiss; therefore, they are not very resistant. Unfortunately, they are not open to the public because rare flora, especially endemic shrubs, are found here. That's why they were included in the list of nature reserves and are incorporated into the Praděd State Nature Reserve. This location is also significant from a historical point of view as witchcraft sabbaths were said to have taken place here in the 17th century and is entwined with a great deal of stories. The rocks are located near the Ovčárna chalet, which is why you can stop here along your trip to Praděd.
