Rejvíz (Czech pronunciation: [ˈrɛjviːs]; German: Reihwiesen) is the highest situated Silesian village in the Czech Republic (757 metres above sea level), and an administrative part of Zlaté Hory. It is also the most important tourist area in the northern part of the Protected Landscape Territory of Jeseník.
The Rejvíz Guesthouse is a popular sight because of its wooden interior from the early 20th century, carved by its owners, the Brauner brothers. Its part are also chairs with carved faces of regular customers of that time (image). In the time of the communist regime it was called Nosek Cottage (Noskova chata), after the first Czechoslovak communist Minister of Interior Václav Nosek.
Rejvíz is also a natural reserve, founded in 1955, covering 3.97 km2 and composed of the largest peat bog in Moravia and Moravian Silesia with small lakes of glacial origin. An instructive natural path was opened in 1970 and leads from the Rejvíz Guesthouse to the Great Moss Lake in the western part of the natural reserve. It is 1.5 km long and there are six stops with information boards.
The area of the Great Moss Lake is 1,692 m2. It is 68.5 m long and 41 m wide. Its depth is 2.95 m. Another lake, the Small Moss Lake, lies in the north-eastern part of the natural reserve. However, it is now completely overgrown with plants. The thickness of the peat layer is 6.6 m in this area, twice more than at the Great Moss Lake. The Small Moss Lake is not accessible to the public.
