Bardzkie Mountains

The highest peaks are: Klodzka Gora (765 meters above sea level), Ostra Gora (751 meters above sea level), Slup (667 meters above sea level) and Wilczak (637 meters above sea level). The latter two peaks lie in the lower, northwestern part.

Geologically, the Bardzkie Mountains are built of old Paleozoic quartzitic sandstone, shale and conglomerate. The slopes of the Bardzkie Mountains are covered with dense mixed forests, in places with the character of the rare Sudeten forest (the “Yew” and “Cisowa Góra” reserves).

A small but very picturesque range of the Bardzkie Mountains is characterized by a unique climate and fairy-tale landscape enclosed in a composition of low hills. It is an attractive place for cycling and longer walks. A blue European long-distance trail leads along the ridges of the Bardzkie Mountains.

Bardo Slaskie

At the foot of the Bardzkie Mountains lies Bardo Slaskie, which is a particularly attractive town in terms of tourism. There is a rocky outcrop here – a vantage point over Bardo, formed by a landslide of part of the mountain’s slope into the bed of the Nysa Klodzka River, as well as the breakthrough of the Nysa Klodzka River and Calvary (583 m), on whose paths the Stations of the Cross and the Marian Sanctuary were built. At the border with the Owl Mountains (on Ostrog) is the famous Prussian fort, and the railroad viaducts (closed), which are impressive in their height. Bardo is an excellent place to start a mountain biking route, as well as a longer hiking trip. During snowy winters, ski the main ridge trail.
