[2] Surrounding the mountain are the following peaks: from the east Šumný and Spálená stráň, from the southeast Žalostná and Keprník, from the south Vozka, from the southwest Troják [pl], Troják-SZ, Mračná hora, from the northwest Ovčí vrch (2),[a] Klín, Klínec, Vápenný kopec (the last three peaks lie in the Golden Mountains range (Czech: Rychlebské hory)) and Obří skály, and from the northeast Sněhulák, Strmý, Javořík and Nad hájenkou.

[2] In addition, on the northeastern slope, at a distance of about 200 m (660 ft) northeast of the summit, a field with a ramp for gliding and paragliding named PG startoviště Šerák has been created near Jiřího na Šeráku [pl] mountain hut.

[12][2] It is the oldest hut, built in 1888 by a tourist organization called the Moravian-Silesian Sudeten Mountain Society (German: Mährisch-Schlesischer Sudetengebirgverein (MSSGV)) with the participation of Cardinal Georg von Kopp, who donated the area for construction.

The State Administration of Land Surveying and Cadastre provides the summit as the highest point of the mountain with an elevation of 1,351.1 m (4,433 ft) above sea level and geographic coordinates 50°11′11.7″N 17°06′24.0″E / 50.186583°N 17.106667°E / 50.186583; 17.106667.

[8][2] The secondary summit of Šerák-JZ is located in the midst of a spruce forest, covered with, among other things, a very popular plant of the Hrubý Jeseník, namely the European blueberry.

[9] Due to the protection of the valuable ecosystem of the entire Šerák-Keprník nature reserve [pl] established here, access to the secondary summit is not recommended.

[2] Geologically, the massif of Šerák mountain belongs to the unit referred to as the Keprník dome[15] and is composed of metamorphic rocks, mainly: gneisses (biotites), orthogneisses, erlangites, mylonites, blastomylonites, migmatites, schists, and magmatic rocks, mainly metagranites.

[24] The summit area and parts of all slopes are located within the Šerák-Keprník nature reserve [pl], which is part of the Jeseníky Protected Landscape Area [pl], and was established to protect rock, earth and plant formations, as well as rare animal species.

[31] Along the red trail blazing, a nature trail named S Koprníčkem na výlet Keprnickými horami was created on the route:[2] The Šerák-Keprník nature reserve [pl] is located at an elevation of 852–1423 m above sea level,[33] has an area of 794.30 hectares[34] (with a protective buffer zone of up to 1169.83 hectares), and was established on December 31, 1933[34] to protect a number of preserved rock and soil formations formed as a result of the harsh climate of the ice age, such as cryoplanation terraces, frost seams and so-called hummocks,[24] as well as the flora and fauna found in their area.

[37] The key tourist point is a hiking intersection located about 300 m (980 ft) southeast of the peak, named Šerák (rozc.

[41] On the slopes of the mountain, two cycling trails have been designated on the routes:[2] During the snowy period, from the southwestern slope, you can use the designated longest piste in the Czech Republic with a total length of 3,260 m (10,700 ft), with an intermediate level of difficulty, which belongs to the ski resort named Lyžařské středisko Bonera-Ramzová[44] with the following course:[39] Šerák – Mračná hora – Černava mountain – Ramzová Along cycling and some hiking trails, cross-country skiing trails have been established, including a route called Jesenická magistrála.
