Červená Voda: Trails, Views and Culture

Červená Voda offers several distinct highlights for a trip: trails and views at Křížová hora, winter sports in the district of Mlýnický Dvůr, and culture and local history. These destinations differ in their landscape, activity and cultural appeal; the trails are also described in specific terms, including their length, markings and stops.

Křížová hora: Summit, Views and Hiking Trails

East of Červená Voda, Křížová hora rises as a summit in the Jeřábská vrchovina highlands. It is 735 metres above sea level. An observation tower stands on the mountain, with a platform 25 metres above the ground. The two elevation figures refer to different points: the height of the summit and the height of the viewing platform above the ground. From the tower, the view extends across much of the Kladská Basin.

A yellow-marked ridge trail leads from the centre of Červená Voda to the observation tower. Below the mountain, the Mokřiny nature reserve borders the access trail. Check trail conditions before setting out.

The Křížová hora nature trail is approximately three kilometres long and covers local history and nature at five stops. Its length is a useful planning detail in its own right; the stops also give the route an additional thematic framework. While the observation tower opens up views across the Kladská Basin, the nature trail signs focus on the history and natural environment of the surrounding area.

Hraběcí Nature Trail and Cycle Route

The Hraběcí nature trail has a different focus: it is linked to a fairytale story. Wooden animal sculptures by Mr. Bubák stand at several points along the route. By contrast, the Křížová hora nature trail covers local history and nature at five stops. When choosing between the two routes, you can weigh up the fairytale narrative and animal figures against the Křížová hora trail’s informative mix of history and nature.

A cycle route is also specified by an exact length: the Červená Voda–Králíky cycle route measures 3,960 metres. Together, the cycle route and nature trails offer distinct ways to explore the surroundings, complementing the views from Křížová hora. The 3,960-metre figure refers to this cycle route; the Křížová hora nature trail, by contrast, is approximately three kilometres long.

Winter Sports in the District of Mlýnický Dvůr

The Červená Voda Ski Park is located in the district of Mlýnický Dvůr. Its listed features include a 2,150-metre descent and a heated four-person chairlift. The first figure describes the slope, while the second specifies the type and features of the lift. These concrete details distinguish the winter sports offering from the destination’s hiking and cultural highlights. The lift operates seasonally; check current operating hours before a winter trip.

Museum, Church and Cultural Monument

The Červená Voda Museum of Memories and Nature is on the first floor and is accessible by lift. Check current accessibility before your visit. This makes access a separate point to consider when planning, in addition to the museum’s historical themes.

The Church of St. Matthew in Červená Voda is early Baroque and was built between 1683 and 1686. In Šanov, Červená Voda, the Holy Trinity sculptural group has been protected as a cultural monument since 11 August 2020. The church represents a building history with specific dates, while the sculptural group is defined by its protected status and the date it was granted. Together with the museum, these cultural sites add further specific travel highlights to the trails, views and seasonal winter sports.
