Geography
The range is located entirely in Czech territory and create a slight highland within the Eastern Sudetes mountains.[4] To the southeast, the Oderské vrchy borders the Moravian Gate that separates it from the Western Carpathians. Otherwise they are surrounded by other smaller mountain ranges that belong to Nízký Jeseník.
Large part of the mountains are part of the Libavá military training area. Though recently reduced in size, this area, except for the trails to the source of the Oder river, is not open to tourists or visitors.[5]
Population
The area is very sparsely populated, there is no significant settlement in the mountain range. The closest cities and towns are Olomouc in the west, and Lipník nad Bečvou and Hranice in the south.
Nature park
A nature park named Oderské vrchy is located outside the mountain range (in the Vítkov Highlands within the Nízký Jeseník), northeast of the range. It comprises an area of 287 km2 (111 sq mi) with the towns of Odry, Fulnek and Bílovec.
