[7][8] Above this range, in accordance with the altitudinal zonation, alpine tundra dominates, covered with grass and planted dwarf mountain pine.
[7][8] Almost all slopes are characterized by significant variability in forest cover, with substantial clearings and thinning, and even bare areas.
Additionally, on the western slope near the Sedlo pod Keprníkem [pl] pass, there is an area covered with rock debris.
[1][8] Approximately 995 m north of the summit, close to the red tourist trail (about 30 m away), at an elevation of 1,309 m above sea level,[1] there is a monument with a stone commemorative plaque, erected on 26 September 1935.
[1][11] Near this path is a tourist intersection named Keprník (vrchol)[12] with an informational sign indicating an elevation of 1,423 m.[1] The summit of the mountain is on an exposed rocky outcrop about 20 m in length, which serves as a scenic viewpoint.
The State Geodetic and Cadastral Office lists the highest point of the mountain – the summit – at an elevation of 1,423.3 m above sea level and geographical coordinates 50°10′15.1″N 17°06′59.2″E / 50.170861°N 17.116444°E / 50.170861; 17.116444.
[1] (meters above sea level) (meters) Geologically, the Keprník massif belongs to the unit known as the Keprník Dome[17] and is composed of metamorphic rocks, mainly gneisses (biotite), orthogneisses, erlan [pl], mylonites, blasto-mylonites, migmatites, schists, and igneous rocks, primarily meta-granites.
It is likely that a small mountain glacier existed on the southeastern slope during this period, leaving behind the so-called Keprnický kar.
[1] Along the red tourist trail, an educational path named With Koprníček on an excursion to the Keprník Mountains (Czech: NS S Koprníčkem na výlet Keprnickými horami) has been created,[1] with 13 observation points, running from Červenohorské sedlo to Ramzová [pl].
[32] Established on 31 December 1933, the reserve protects a series of preserved rock and soil formations formed during the harsh climate of the Ice age, such as cryoplanation terraces, frost ribs, and hummockss,[28] along with the flora and fauna found within these areas.
