[3] On 18 September 1967, a sports plane belonging to the Šumperk Aeroclub, an Orličan L-40 Meta Sokol model, crashed on the slope of Červená hora near the Červenohorské sedlo [pl] pass during a sightseeing flight.

The crash claimed the lives of three people: the pilot Bohumil Lanta, the parachutist Oldřich Paprskář, and his three-year-old daughter Ivanka Paprskářová.

[4] At the crash site, about 2.2 km southeast of the summit, at an elevation of around 1,024 metres, a memorial with a plaque listing the names of the deceased was erected along the road.

[6] Červená hora is located in the northwestern part of the Hrubý Jeseník range, within the middle-eastern region of a microregion called the Keprník Mountains [pl].

[5] A notable feature on the mountain is the natural window called Kamenné okno, located about 600 metres north of the main summit.

[5] The summit is difficult to reach, situated in a small clearing surrounded by dense dwarf mountain pine and a few scattered spruce trees.

At the summit, there is a triangulation station, marked on geodetic maps with the number 33, at an elevation of 1,332.61 metres above sea level, and the geographical coordinates of 50°08′39.27″N 17°08′09.46″E / 50.1442417°N 17.1359611°E / 50.1442417; 17.1359611.

In addition to the main summit, there are three lower secondary summits within the massif:[5] Geologically, Červená hora belongs to the Keprník Dome formation[13] and is composed of various metamorphic rocks, including phyllites (biotite, chlorite, muscovite), phyllonites [pl], mica schists (staurolite, andalusite, garnet, sillimanite), greenstone schists, gneisses, and quartzites.

[5] The Sněžná kotlina Nature Reserve[20] was established in 1998 and covers an area of approximately 108 hectares at elevations ranging from 980 to 1,320 metres above sea level.

This reserve is situated on a steep slope that is subject to various natural forces such as frost, snow accumulation with potential avalanches, erosion, and historical glacial activity during the Pleistocene era, which left behind a cirque.

The reserve is a valuable botanical site with rare plant species, some of which are unique and endangered, including the spotted gentian, hard-fern, Viola lutea subsp.

sudetica [pl], alpine yellow-violet, narcissus anemone, Diphasiastrum, garden monkshood, and Empetrum nigrum subsp.

[26] Two cycling routes also pass near the mountain:[5] Přemyslov – Černá stráň – Hučivá Desná stream valley – Červená hora – Šindelná hora – Suchá hora – Kouty nad Desnou – Hřbety [pl] – Nad Petrovkou [pl] – Petrovka[27] V Mlýnkách – Nad Výrovkou – Točník – Filipovice – Jeřáb – Mariin pramen spring – Velký Klín – Pod Velkým Klínem There is also a challenging uphill cycling route from Bělá pod Pradědem to Červenohorské sedlo along road no.
