To Ztracené kameny from Skřítek

Motorest Skřítek – Ztracené kameny - Motorest Skřítek

Ztracené kameny are a rock formation on the ridge of Hrubý Jeseník at an altitude of 1250 meters. The peak will provide wonderful views of Hraběšická vrchovina, Šumpersko and Králický Sněžník. The lost stones are the first peak of the ridge route in the direction of Jelení studánka and Peter's stones to the Ovčárna convalescent home.

A legend is related to the stone sea, according to which the devil spilled these stones from his boots while chasing a local farmer.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE

By car or bus, we will get to the Skřítek motor station. From the Skřítek motor station, cross the main road and follow the green marked path (concurrent with the red and yellow signs) to the Nad Skřítkem information point. On the right side of the road is the national nature reserve Rašeliniště na Skřítku with rich peat flora - it is not open to the public. We continue through the forest, first along the path and then along the path in parallel with the yellow sign to the information point Pod Ztracenými kameny (1100 m) and then only on the green marked path to Ztracené kameny (1250 m).
