Kłodzko Valley

The Kłodzko Valley (Polish: Kotlina Kłodzka, Czech: Kladská kotlina, German: Glatzer Kessel) a valley in the Sudetes mountain range, that covers the central part of Kłodzko County in south-western Poland, with the southern tip extending to the Czech Republic around the town of Králíky.

The mountain passes of Kudowa/Běloves in the west and of Międzylesie/Lichkov in the south connect to Czech areas around Náchod and Králíky respectively.

Flowing through the valley, the Eastern Neisse is joined by Biała Lądecka [pl], Bystrzyca Dusznicka [pl] and Ścinawka rivers, and then exits it in the northeast through the Bardzkie Mountains to Bardo in Lower Silesia.

The valley is part of the Kłodzko Land region, which is a tourist destination both in summer and winter, with numerous hotels, sanatoria and many mountain trails.
