Rejvíz lies in the Zlatohorská Highlands and also extends into the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range in the south.

It is composed of the largest peat bog in Moravia and Czech Silesia with small lakes of glacial origin.

[2] An educational trail was opened in 1970 and leads from the Rejvíz Guesthouse to Velké mechové Lake in the western part of the nature reserve.

When the last ice age ended many species moved to northern territories of Europe, but peat bogs provided good conditions for some of them here too.

During World War II, the German occupiers operated the E781 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp for Allied POWs in the village.

[3] The Rejvíz Guesthouse is a popular sight because of its wooden interior from the early 20th century, carved by its owners, the Brauner brothers.
