Altvatergebirge
The original name was Freiwaldau, deriving from German "frei vom Walde", meaning "free from the woods". The former Czech name of Frývaldov was a phonetic transcription of the German original. After World War II the town was renamed along with many other towns containing German elements in their names. It is named after the surrounding mountains which are called Hrubý Jeseník or Jeseníky.
