The municipality covers an area of, and has a population of 648.
Stará Červená Voda lies approximately north of Jeseník, north of Olomouc, and east of Prague.
During the Second World War the village was the base for a working party of British and Commonwealth prisoners of war, under the administration of Stalag VIII-B/344 at Łambinowice in Poland. In January 1945, as the Soviet armies resumed their offensive and advanced into Germany, the prisoners were marched westward in the so-called Long March or Death March. Many of them died from the bitter cold and exhaustion. The lucky ones got far enough to the west to be liberated by the allied armies after some four months of travelling on foot in appalling conditions.
