Břidličná hora, Mountain summit in Hrubý Jeseník range, Czech Republic.

Břidličná hora is a 1,358 m summit on the main ridge of the Hrubý Jeseník, between Pecný and Jelení hřbet, in the Vernířovice municipality. Its rounded top is open subalpine grassland with juniper and a nearly complete set of Pleistocene periglacial forms: block streams, block fields, frost cliffs, cryoplanation terraces and patterned ground.

Until the 1950s the mountain was called simply Břidličná; the name refers to slate (břidlice), though the summit formations are built of quartzite over gneiss, phyllite and green schist. A German Heinkel He 111 of the Luftwaffe crashed on the western slope at about 1,300 m, probably in 1942 or 1943; gendarmes removed the large wreckage, small fragments were found later, and the crew was never identified. In March 2008 the mountain became part of the Břidličná nature reserve.

The mountain was called simply Břidličná until the 1950s, when it became Břidličná hora; German sources use Schieferhaide, from Schiefer, slate. The summit lies in the Břidličná nature reserve, declared in March 2008 to protect the rock and soil forms and the largest population of low common juniper in the Czech Republic.

No marked trail reaches the summit; the red ridge route from Skřítek to Jelení studánka bypasses it, and a yellow trail links Jelení studánka with Vernířovice on the northern slopes. Paths on the slopes are largely unmarked, so a detailed map is advised. The summit lies within the Břidličná nature reserve, declared in March 2008.

The stone fields on the mountain move slowly but measurably, averaging between 1 and 4 millimeters annually. One recorded year saw movement reach as much as 15 centimeters, showing how active these formations remain.
