Vyšehoří (German: Wyschehor) is a municipality and village in Šumperk District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The name Vyšehoří is derived from the phrase Czech: výše v horách, i.e. "higher in the mountains". It refers to its hilly location.[2]
Vyšehoří is located about 7km (04miles) west of Šumperk and 45km (28miles) northwest of Olomouc. It lies mostly in the Zábřeh Highlands, only the southern part of the municipal territory extends into the Mohelnice Depression. The highest point is at 550m (1,800feet) above sea level.
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]
The I/11 road, which connects Hradec Králové with Šumperk and continues further to Ostrava, runs along the eastern municipal border.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[3] The main landmark is the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk.
