Etymology

The name Vyšehoří is derived from výše v horách, i.e. "higher in the mountains". It refers to its hilly location.[2]

Geography

Vyšehoří is located about 7 km (4 mi) west of Šumperk and 45 km (28 mi) northwest of Olomouc. It lies mostly in the Zábřeh Highlands. The highest point is a contour line at 550 m (1,800 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Vyšehoří is from 1397, when it became property of Petr of Kravaře. The Lords of Kravaře owned it as part of the Ruda estate until 1442, when they sold the estate to the Tunkl of Brníčko family. Vyšehoří became part of the Zábřeh estate, which remained so until fall of the feudal system in 1848.[2]
