Ucháč

All slopes are characterized by significant variability in forest height, with banded clearings, glades, thinnings, and bare areas.

The slopes are covered with a network of roads (e.g., Pekařovská cesta) and generally unmarked paths and tracks.

[4] On the southeastern slope, about 850 m southeast of the summit, at an elevation of approximately 825 m above sea level, there is a rock group called Bukovická skalka (or Skály nad Bukovicemi), with an elevation of 841 m above sea level, near the red tourist trail.

On the summit area, there is a triangulation station established in 1937, marked on geodetic maps with the number 16, at an elevation of 1,008.53 metres above sea level and geographic coordinates 50°05′35.11″N 17°02′52.65″E / 50.0930861°N 17.0479583°E / 50.0930861; 17.0479583,[6] with a nearby mounted steel post painted in alternating horizontal white and red stripes, warning against its destruction, with a plaque reading Státní triangulace Poškození se trestá (English: State triangulation station.

The State Administration of Land Surveying and Cadastre lists the highest point of the mountain – the summit – at an elevation of 1,009.6 m above sea level and geographic coordinates 50°05′34.8″N 17°02′54.0″E / 50.093000°N 17.048333°E / 50.093000; 17.048333.

[4][7] Besides the main summit, two secondary summits can be distinguished:[4][6] (metres above sea level) (kilometres) Geologically, the Ucháč massif belongs to a unit known as the Keprník Dome[9] and is composed of metamorphic rocks, mainly gneisses, orthogneisses (biotites), mylonites, blasto-mylonites, and igneous rocks, primarily meta-granites.

[10] Ucháč is situated to the southwest of the European watershed, and thus belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin.

[4] Additionally, about 1.4 km southwest of the summit, at an elevation of approximately 750 m above sea level, there is a spring known as Studánka U Chaty,[11] located near the green tourist trail.

The boundary of this protected area runs north of the mountain, near the road from Rejhotice to Nové Losiny.

[4] The Přemyslovské Sedlo Nature Reserve is located at elevations between 730 and 768 m above sea level, at the foot of the northeastern slope of the mountain, around the Přemyslovský potok.

[4] The Czech Tourist Club has marked three hiking trails in the area of the mountain:[4] Loučná nad Desnou – Loveč – Jelení skok – Ucháč – Pekařovský vrch – Studenec – Žárovec – Pršná – Hynčice nad Moravou – Hanušovice Kouty nad Desnou [pl] – Černá stráň – Přemyslov – Jelení skok – Jelení skalka – Ucháč – Tři kameny summit – Nové Losiny – Černá stráň – Branná Tři kameny (útulna) – Ucháč – Pekařovský vrch – Studenec – Chlum – Chmelný vrch – Křížový vrch [pl] – Velké Losiny Two cycling routes pass through the slopes of Ucháč:[4] Loučná nad Desnou – Seč – Čepel [pl] – Mravenečník [pl] – Medvědí hora – Kamenec (1) [pl][a] – Dlouhé stráně – Velká Jezerná [pl] – Divoká Desná river valley – Kouty nad Desnou – Černá stráň – Přemyslovské sedlo pass – Tři kameny – Ucháč – Jelení skok – Loveč – Lískovec – Loučná nad Desnou[15] Pekařovská cesta – Pekařovský vrch – Studenec – Račinka brook valley – Velké Losiny – Smrčná – Pod Lískovcem During the snowy periods, the hiking and cycling routes, as well as other roads, are used for cross-country skiing trails.

[17][18] The other downhill trails in this resort, numbered 1 and 2, are located on the slope of the neighboring Jelení skalka mountain.
