Jeřáb[2][3] is a mountain in the Hanušovice Highlands (Hanušovická vrchovina) in the Sudetes within the north-eastern Czech Republic. With an elevation of 1,003 metres (3,291 ft), it is the highest peak of the Hanušovice Highlands.[4][1]
Geography
Jeřáb lies on the Czech–Moravian borderland, between the Orlické Mountains (Orlické hory), the Králický Sněžník massif and the Hrubý Jeseník range, and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the town of Králíky.[5]
The mountain forms part of a major European drainage divide: parts of the Jeřáb area drain toward the Black Sea basin via the upper Morava and its tributaries, while the western summit area includes the headwaters of the Tichá Orlice, which belongs to the North Sea basin via the Elbe.[5]
Protection
The summit area and western slopes are included in Přírodní park Jeřáb (Jeřáb Nature Park). The site was declared a quiet area in 1987 and later designated as a nature park, reflecting its significance as a spring and headwater region.[5]
Recreation
The Jeřáb area is used for hiking and, in winter, cross-country skiing in the surrounding landscape.[5]
