Keprník is the highest peak in the Keprnická vrchovina, which is located 9 km from the town of Jeseník. The top parts of the mountain are part of the nature reserve Šerák – Keprník – Vozka, through which a nature trail leads. On the top of the mountain there are low rocks of Staurolytic rock, on the slopes there is the so-called Keprnická rula. From these rocks you can see a circular view of the entire Jeseníky Mountains and the surrounding area. If the visibility is good, you can also see Králický Sněžník, the Krkonoše and Beskydy Mountains, exceptionally also the Little Fatra and the High Tatras.

The nature reserve Šerák – Keprník – Vozka was declared to protect the forest – mountain spruce forest in the area between Šerák and Keprník. It is the oldest reserve in Moravia. It was established in 1903 by the then owner of the estate, Prince Jan II of Liechtenstein, with an area of 172 ha. The current reserve has an area of 1174.44 ha and besides the mountain spruce forests, there are protected extensive upland areas with typical flora and a small hole with the rock formations of Vozka and Keprník, covered with unique vegetation (Alpine hawkweed, three-lobed reed, cress).
