[4] A distinctive feature of Homole is its nearly flat, straight summit ridge, which is about 400 meters long and runs in a southwest-northeast direction.
However, due to the towering peaks of Mravenečník [pl], Dlouhé stráně, and Vřesník, it is challenging to locate and identify from other areas.
Additionally, from another viewpoint along the road encircling Dlouhé stráně, Homole is visible below the line of sight toward Břidličná hora.
The maximum arithmetic mean on the southeast slope near the rock formations, at an elevation of about 970 meters above sea level over a 50-meter stretch, does not exceed 50°.
The slopes are crisscrossed by a network of roads (including Hrázová cesta), which have been developed into hiking and cycling trails, along with generally unmarked, few paths and tracks.
[4] Approximately 500 meters southwest of the summit lies an inactive mining site known as Štola na Homoli, a remnant of iron ore extraction.
[4][11] The summit itself is located near this main road, amidst a spruce forest, and is covered with alpine grass as well as the European blueberry, which are a common plant in the Hrubý Jeseník mountains.
[15] On the summit plateau, there is a triangulation station marked on geodetic maps with the number 34, at an elevation of 1,209.21 meters above sea level, with geographical coordinates 50°03′17.28″N 17°10′13.21″E / 50.0548000°N 17.1703361°E / 50.0548000; 17.1703361.
[10] Near this point, there is a metal post painted with alternating horizontal white and red stripes, warning against damage, with a sign that reads Státní triangulace Poškození se trestá (State triangulation station.
The Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping, and Cadastre (Czech: Český úřad zeměměřický a katastrální, CÚZK) in Prague lists the highest point of the mountain – the summit – at an elevation of 1,209.3 meters above sea level, with geographical coordinates 50°03′17.4″N 17°10′13.2″E / 50.054833°N 17.170333°E / 50.054833; 17.170333, located about 4 meters north of the triangulation station.
[10] Geologically, the Homole massif belongs to the unit known as the Desná Dome [pl][17] and is composed of metamorphic rocks, mainly gneisses (biotite, muscovite) and amphibolites.
[21][22][23] The route includes 12 observation points and passes through significant areas such as Švagrov, Švagrovské údolí, Vřesník, Homole, and Jestřabí vrch.
