Characteristics
Location
Javorový vrch is situated slightly to the northeast of the central part of the Hrubý Jeseník range, in the western area (microregion) known as the Medvědí Mountains, and borders the neighboring microregion called the Praděd Mountains. The mountain has a dome-shaped summit. The massif of the mountain has a slightly arched ridge, stretching in a southeast-northwest direction, lying nearby the settlements of Vidly and Bělá, close to roads no. 450 from Bělá pod Pradědem to Bruntál and no. 451 from Nové Heřminovy to Vidly. It is located on a side ridge of the Orlík Massif, between Lysý vrch and Mrazový vrch to Nad Borovým. The summit is not very visible, including from the road surrounding the summit of Praděd mountain (the summit is slightly to the left below the line of sight to Jelení loučky peak).

Why this record matters
The phrase “mountain in Czech Republic, Hrubý Jeseník” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27849274. Authority coordinates are 50.122, 17.247. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
