Wildlife of Jeseniky
Wildlife of this area fascinates even non-naturalists. Enthusiasm that bubbles up inside experts on spotting species whose habitat is at the edge of the area, in peatbogs or terraces is almost beyond belief.

National nature reserve Králický Sněžník
Malá Morava, Staré Město
The most prominent feature of the Staré Město micro-region is Králický Sněžník (1424 metres in altitude) on whose peak once stood a viewing area. A statue of a baby elephant lords over the surrounding area gazing throughout the year at the views of the Hrubý Jeseník, Orlické hory, Krkonoše and the Polish Soví mountain ranges. Visitors should not pass up the view either. The national nature reserve Králický Sněžník is the starting point for the largest Moravian river the Morava and lies in the central and top parts of the mountain range of the same name taking up an area of 1695 ha. The peak Klepý looms up on the border with Poland and forms a significant European dividing point for water leading into three seas.
National nature reserve Šerák-Keprník
Bělá pod Pradědem, Lipová-lázně
The oldest nature reserve in Moravia
National nature reserve Šerák – Keprník is the oldest reserve in Moravia. It was given this status as early as the year 1903 by the former owner of the estate Jan II of Lichtenstein. It contains a number of rare plants and wooded species and the local cold climate with a high amount of rain creates ideal conditions for depositing swamp plant dead matter. Consequently, several relatively extensive raised peat bogs are located here. These are precious evidence of the existence of old kinds of plants as the remains of their pollen can be preserved after thousands of years.
