Malý Roudný

Malý Roudný is an extinct volcano in Křišťanovice rising to about 770 meters and forms part of the Nízký Jeseník mountain range. The peak displays the characteristic volcanic cone shape with asymmetrical form, a result of its geological origins.

The mountain formed during the early Pleistocene period from intense volcanic activity that created four distinct lava flows extending eastward for several kilometers. These lava flows shaped the terrain and its geological structure.

The landscape around the peak displays stone walls and boundary markers showing how local communities farmed this land for generations. These structures shape how the place looks today.

There are no marked trails leading directly to the summit, but multiple informal paths allow visitors to reach the top from different directions. The approach can be chosen based on your starting point and current conditions.

Visitors will find a visitor's book at the summit where hikers leave their names, and can enjoy views toward the Slezská Harta reservoir from the top. This combination makes the peak a popular destination for casual mountain walks.
