Vozka

Fuhrmannstein, also known as Vozka, is a mountain summit in the Jeseniky range that rises to 1377 meters with exposed rock formations at its peak. The summit offers views across the surrounding landscape in all directions.

The summit served as a critical landmark for merchants in the Middle Ages when crossing mountain passes between Moravia and Silesia. This ancient trade function shaped its importance for centuries.

The summit holds two names reflecting its ties to local mountaineers and historical trade routes. Visitors can sense this heritage through the traditions of those who traveled and shaped this region.

Marked hiking trails approach the summit from multiple directions, with the easiest access starting from the Cervenohorske sedlo parking area. Visitors should bring weather-appropriate clothing as mountain conditions can change quickly.

The summit hosts rare arctic-alpine plant species that have survived here since the last ice age, such as mountain avens and alpine clubmoss. These ice-age relic plants make the peak particularly interesting for botanists.
