Region Lanškrounsko

Lázek (714 m above sea level) is the highest hill of Zábřeh Highlands. Conspicuous hill in foothills of Orlické and Jeseníky Mountains is made of Zábřeh paragneiss crystalinicum. There is a lot of protected areas that make evidence of clean nature, e.g. V dole, Selský Brook, Selský Wood and Březná Natural Park. Lázek is situated on historical Bohemian-Moravian borderline; national border led through this area as well. National Unity of Olomouc bought ground of Lázek and in 1908 monument of Svatopluk Čech was built. Alongside, in 1912 Unity built new wooden, 15 m high observation tower that was destroyed by antibohemian vandals.
