Owl Mountains #1

The Owl Mountains (Polish: Góry Sowie) is a mountain range in the Central Sudetes in south-west Poland. It runs between the historic Lower Silesian region and Kłodzko Land. The range includes a protected area called Owl Mountains Landscape Park.

The Owl Mountains are very diversified in terms of height. The highest peaks are Wielka Sowa (“Great Owl”; 1014 metres in altitude) and Kalenica (964 m) with its viewing tower. The remaining peaks reach the height from 200 to 987 metres above sea level. Except for the summit clearings and the mountain passes, the Owl Mountains represent the spruce-clad type of mountains. There may be also observed a rare occurrence of the beech and the yew.

The Owl Mountains are covered by a network of tourist trails. The favourite tourist destinations of the Owl Mountains include: the Stone Tower on Wielka Nowa, the viewing tower on Kalenica, Grodno Castle in Zagórze Śląskie, the adit complexes of Project Riese near Walim, and the Mining Museum in the country of Poland.
