This article briefly presents mountains in the Czech Republic and Poland, Slovakia and Germany. Let's start with Poland.

General information about the mountain systems of Poland

The main mountain systems passing through the territory of Poland are the Carpathians and the Sudety. Also in the territory of this country are located low венwiętokrzyskie rocks. In general, the mountains in Poland stretch in the south of the country: Sudetes on the western territory, the Carpathians - on the east. Here is the famous pass called the Moravian Gate, through which, in ancient times, he traveled from Northern Europe to the South Great Trade Way.

Carpathians stretch along the borders of Poland with the state of Slovakia, and the Sudetenland - along the borders with the Czech Republic. The highest point of the Polish Carpathians, at an altitude of 2,499 meters, is the peak of the Rysy. This mountain peak is located in the High Tatras Mountains (the highest in Eastern Europe). In Sudeten, the highest point is the summit of Snezka (height - 1603 meters).

Now let's take a closer look at the largest mountains.

Carpathians

The mountains in Poland and Slovakia (the Carpathians) are divided according to their physical and geographical location into the Southern, Western and Eastern regions. The Polish Carpathians almost completely belong to the Western Carpathians and only partially on the Ukrainian border are captured by the Eastern ones.

In turn, the Western Carpathians on Polish territory are divided into Beskydy and Tatras, the latter being distinguished among other Carpathian mountain ranges by a beautiful relief of the Alpine form and powerful height. The border of the Polish state with Slovakia passes along the main ridge of the Tatras. In comparison with the highest point of the Lynx, most of the remaining peaks reach marks from 1,700 to 2,300 meters.

At the northernmost foot of the Tatras, on the section of the intermountain hollow, there is a remarkable resort Zakopane.

Beskidy is the western mountain massif of the Carpathians in Poland. For example, Beskid вецywiecki (1557 meters), Beskid High (1725 meters), Bekid Шląski (1257 meters) and others. They are located north, east and west of the Tatras.

At the very edge of Poland (southeast), at the borders with Ukraine and Slovakia, are allocated Beshchady (the highest point is 1348 meters), geographically related to the Eastern Carpathians.

All the mountains in Poland are very beautiful.

Sudeten

The Western mountains, stretching along the border of Poland with the Czech Republic, are the Sudetenlands. Their highest ridge is the Karkonosze (1603 meters - Snowball). As in the case of the Carpathians, geographic zoning divides Sudetes into three parts: Central, Western and Eastern. A characteristic feature of the ancient Sudetes is the presence of large intermontane basins and the smooth outlines of the slopes of most of the mountains.

Due to such uniqueness of the territory of Poland with numerous mountain ranges, this country attracts lovers of ski sports and hiking.

Tourists traveling to the mountains in Poland for skiing or hiking, have the advantage of choosing the most diverse options to their liking.

The mountains of the Czech Republic and Slovakia

The territories of the Czech Republic and Slovakia are also mostly represented by mountainous areas. On the western parts they are strongly destroyed and look like the mountains of Germany (medium-altitude), not exceeding 1500 meters. And to the east lies the mountain arch of the Carpathians, but much larger in height and younger in age. However, it, combined with sedimentary rocks, has rounded peaks and gentle slopes.

Only in some places where the rocks of the crystalline basement are observed, the mountain massifs have sharper peaks and quite steep rocks.

Mountains of Germany

Not only the mountains in Poland, but also the slopes of Germany attract tourists.

In these places the mountain system is very interesting in connection with the presence of several large mountain ranges with remarkable nature and interesting ascent for tourists. The most extensive mountains - the Bavarian Alps, are in the south of the country and border with Austria. The highest point is the Zugspitz (height over 3000 meters). And the other peaks have heights of at least 2000 meters. And many of them are covered with snow.

South-east of the country, where dense forests prevail and a huge number of mineral springs, is the peak of the Black Forest.

A large mountain range of the Hercyn Mountains extends over the Saxony districts. They are very popular with travelers, especially for visiting them in the summer.
