Vysoký vodopád is the highest waterfall in the Jeseníky Mountains, plunging 28 m. Another important natural landscape is Filipovické louky (Code 1527). The nature reserve has regional ecological, scientific and aesthetic significance and protects endangered plant and animal species that depend on wet spring meadows and their habitats. Those who wish to observe nature should look here for wet spring meadows as well as endangered plant and animal species that depend on these habitats.
What waterfalls and natural areas are there?
The Rudohorské waterfalls form a system of cascades with a total height of approximately 60 m over a length of about 120 m. These approximate dimensions convey a different character than a single, clearly defined waterfall: the cascades extend over a longer section and thus complement the natural experiences around Bělá Pod Pradědem.
Which hiking trails suit different interests?
The educational trail S Koprníčkem na Keprník is 14 km long, moderately difficult and includes twelve stops with information about the history and nature of the Šerák-Keprník Nature Reserve. For planning your day, the 14 km distance and moderate difficulty are the key details; the twelve stops supplement the trail with information about the history and nature of the reserve. The route to the Rudohorské waterfalls is intended for pedestrians and runs partly along a forest track and cycle route 6207. Anyone planning the route should take the pedestrian routing and the partial use of the forest track and cycle route 6207 into account in their own route planning.
