Studniční vrch, Mountain summit in Česká Ves, Czech Republic.
Studniční vrch is a 992 meter peak in the Zlatohorská Highlands within the Jeseník District. The summit rises above Česká Ves village and forms a clearly visible point in this mountain landscape.
People have inhabited this area for a long time, as shown by the nearby settlement of Česká Ves, first documented in 1284. Over centuries the village became an important place in this mountain region.
On the southeastern slopes of Studniční vrch lie Lázně Jeseník (Priessnitzovy léčebné lázně), founded by the "water doctor" Vincenz Priessnitz, where water therapy is the primary treatment, combined with walks in the surrounding landscape. Dozens of springs rise on the slopes, and the grounds hold many monuments, viewpoints, memorial rocks and ceremonial crosses.
The easiest ascent starts from Lázně Jeseník on the green then yellow marked path, or from the Na Pomezí caves on the blue then yellow path; both climb about 400 m. The yellow route from Žulová to Jeseník passes the eastern slope about 100 m below the summit. The summit itself is wooded and offers no view.
The summit's prominence of 414 metres, measured from the Na Pomezí saddle, makes Studniční vrch the most prominent mountain in the Rychlebské hory and the 21st most prominent peak in the Czech Republic. A steel telecommunications transmitter has stood on the flat top since 1996.
