Obří skály, Mountain summit in Hrubý Jeseník range, Czech Republic.
Obří skály is a rock summit in the Hrubý Jeseník range with granite formations standing 10 to 16 meters tall. The surfaces show weathering patterns with grooves, natural overhangs, and a distinctive rock window.
Until the late 1970s dense spruce forest covered the summit until a powerful windstorm uprooted the trees and revealed the rock formations underneath. This natural clearing made the geological structures visible.
The name Obří skály means Giant Rocks and comes from local folklore about a competition between two giants. This story shapes how people think of and discuss this place today.
The summit is accessible via marked green and blue hiking trails from Ramzová station about 4.7 kilometers away. The route is well marked so visitors can easily follow the path.
The formations contain rare minerals such as staurolite and garnet within the metamorphic rock, making it of interest to mineral collectors. These geological features are often overlooked by casual visitors.
