Bílá Opava begins between Peter's stones and Praděd at an altitude of 1260m. It's about 13 km from the mouth at Vrbno Pradědem to Central Opava. The uppermost section consists of rapids, cascades and waterfalls, white water, deep troughs and huge boulders. In many places it changes annually, boulders are moved and there are hurtling rocks, there are slope landslides. The largest waterfall White Opava is 7.9 m. tall with gneiss plates beneath also called giant pots which are well known in the Giant Mountains and Bohemian Mumlava but in Jeseníky are quite rare.
