Ztracené kameny

Ztracené kameny is a mountain summit in the Hrubý Jeseník range distinguished by quartzite rock outcrops running along its ridge. The peak offers hikers views of the surrounding landscape and displays notable geological formations.

The peak area and surrounding slopes above a specific elevation received legal protection in 2008 when the Břidličná nature reserve was established. This designation recognized the scientific value of the rock formations found in this section of the Jeseníky Mountains.

The name refers to scattered stones along the ridge that feature prominently in local folklore and legend. Visitors can see these rock formations today and appreciate why the area earned this distinctive name.

The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails that begin from nearby starting points and require several hours of walking. The routes follow established paths through the mountain landscape and are manageable for average hikers.

A natural spring flows south of the peak near one of the main hiking routes and provides a water source for trekkers. This mountain spring is easily accessible to hikers and lies along the ascent path.
