Bardzkie and Sowie Mountains
The Bardzkie and Sowie Mountains are part of the Central Sudetes and are located in the Lower Silesia region of southwestern Poland. The Bardzkie Mountains are the easternmost range within this part of the Sudetes. They stretch for about 20 kilometers, with a width ranging from 6 to 10 kilometers. The highest peak in this relatively small range is Szeroka Góra, reaching 765 meters above sea level. The Sowie Mountains, on the other hand, are larger and more diverse in landscape. They extend over 25 kilometers (around 35 kilometers along the main ridge) and cover an area of approximately 200 square kilometers. The highest peak is Wielka Sowa, rising to 1,015 meters, known for its distinctive stone observation tower. The two ranges are separated by the Srebrna Pass, and just above it, on the summit of Warowna Góra, stands the monumental Srebrna Góra Fortress - an 18th-century stronghold, considered one of the largest mountain fortifications of its kind in Europe.
