Ramzovské sedlo, Mountain saddle in Ostružná, Czech Republic.
Ramzovské sedlo is a mountain saddle in the Jeseníky Mountains at roughly 759 meters elevation that links two parts of this massif. The pass serves as a crossing point between settlements and provides access to hiking trails and winter sports areas in the region.
The saddle lies on the old land border between Moravia and Silesia, and its German name Ramsauer Sattel recalls the settlement of Ramzová beside it. Road 369 and railway line 292 from Šumperk to Krnov now cross the pass, and a chairlift to Černava has run from Ramzová since 1981.
The pass name comes from the Ramzová settlement beside it; German sources called it Ramsauer Sattel. Near road 369 stands the Chapel of St. Roch, and the mountain rescue station (Stanice HS Ramzová) has its base by the saddle. The tourist crossroads Ramzová (parkoviště) is marked at 762 m.
The area has accommodations, restaurants, and ski facilities on-site, making it convenient for visitors during any season. A notable feature is the train station at roughly 760 meters elevation, which ranks among the highest in the Czech Republic.
The train station here is not only one of the highest in the Czech Republic but also serves express trains, which is unusual for such a remote mountain location. This detail reveals how important the connection across this pass has remained for rail transport.
