The Bardzkie Mountains (Polish: Góry Bardzkie) are a mountain range in the Sudetes in south-western Poland. The official toponym is recorded in Poland’s national register of geographical names (PRNG).[1]

The highest point is generally given as Szeroka Góra (about 766 m), while the neighbouring Wapniarka (757 m) is the best-known summit and features a 34.5 m observation tower (built in 2020).[2]

Geography

[edit]
Location in Poland

The range is centred on the valley of the Nysa Kłodzka and is commonly associated with the scenic river gorge near the town of Bardo.[3]

A standard reference work for the physical geography and toponymy of the Sudetes treats the Bardzkie Mountains as a distinct unit within the Central Sudetes.[4]

Nature protection

[edit]

Parts of the range are included in the EU Natura 2000 network as the special area of conservation Góry Bardzkie (PLH020062). The site is designated in Polish law by a regulation of the Minister of Climate and Environment published in the official Journal of Laws (Dziennik Ustaw).[5][6]

Protected areas and forms of nature protection within state forests managed locally are listed by the State Forests District (Nadleśnictwo Bardo Śląskie).[7]
