Welcome to the next episode of photo-series dedicated to hiking adventures. This time I take you to Jeseníky, the mountains range in Czechia. The hike took place during national lockdown when people were not allowed to leave their districts. This had one tremendous effect - normally top busy mountain spots were suddenly deserted, I barely met a living person. I truly enjoyed the quietness back then. Today we can reminisce a bit. Enjoy ;-)
Along Podolský brook.
Now a little collection of footprints. These could belong to a bird.
These may belong to fox?
Looks like duck's footprints?
An old drift.
A charcoal kiln at Hubert's.
Random mini-waterfall.
A small dam called Pod Zvoničkou (Under Belfry). Not far from here you can truly find the belfry.
Lively ants in their half-frozen anthill.
More footprints. These may belong to some game like deer.
Do not recognize these.
Weather is Okay today, though a bit cold.
Now at protected area Břidličná (translated as Slaty), near a peak Green Stones (1179 m.a.s.l.).
Lovely untouched area.
Still bloody cold :-)
Podolský brook if not mistaken.
Now steep shortcut through the wood.
Finally on the mountain ridge. During normal days, this is a pretty busy spot - Jelení studánka (1311 m.a.s.l), loosely translated as Deer Well. Today heavily covered by snow.
Funny. Almost a year ago (April 2020), it looked like this :-D
Nonindigenous mountain pine occupies local hillsides.
Above Malý Kotel (Little Basin).
Dramatic clouds today.
Wind-lashed pine.
Since pine is not indigenous species in this area, they simply keep removing it. Obtained pine-trash is taken away by a helicopter.
Within view of Praděd (1491 m.a.s.l.), the highest mountain of Jeseníky.
An old border stone dated back to the 17th century.
More views from Vysoká hole (1465 m.a.s.l.), a mountain towering above Velký Kotel (Big Basin) which will be passing through shortly.
Majestic Praděd with a tower. Petrovy kameny, a rock formation, beneath it.
Panoramic shot. On the left, you can see the cut away mountain Dlouhé Stráně which hosts a man-made lake used for hydroelectric pumping power station. Way behind are located another cool mountains - Králický Sněžník.
Bit of wind.
Praděd tower between mountain pines.
Now descending.
Cannot miss this beautiful icicle :-D
Now the big but treacherous basin.
At the beginning of 2021, there was an avalanche which killed a ski alpinist. Today it is safe, no avalanche danger.
Back in one piece, last refreshment at this spring.
Itinerary: Žďárský Potok ➜ Malá Morávka).

Stopařův průvodce po Jeseníkách :D
Sníh a led jsou taky forma vody, tak by to byl i pěkný příspěvek do aktuálního kola #fototema v #cesky ;)

:-D sranda s těma Jeseníkama no. Někdo je holt musí popromovat. Díky za podporu, šefiku 😘
Simply beautiful, it looks like something out of a fairy tale, I hope you keep taking care of nature, images like that transmit a lot of peace!
Hermosa presentación de imágenes con solo verlas te trasladan hasta allá con tranquilidad y paz.
Gracias 😀
Hello
spectacular images and I feel the cold
happy Sunday
Hi there! Happy you enjoy it 😉
Ohhh boy!
What a beauty!
Natur at its best. Right now it is getting hot here and even watching snow calm me down :)
I could say that trip is very similar so some which I did here in Slovenia.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Thanks, Andy!
Nature is beautiful anywhere in the world I bet. Nowadays, traveling is still kind of restricted. Once they ease travelling restrictions, I will definitely document beauty of different country. Maybe one day, it's gonna be Slovenia:-) Have a nice Monday 😉
What a pretty place! It's amazing what winter can do to a place. I like the frozen landscapes and the icicles. The small waterfall was so pretty!
Happy you like it😉 Don't worry, I might still have some cold-hike in my pipeline😄
wow this icicle and the water in it looks amazing ! Great post :)
😮Thanks!
