The Bielengebirge (Polish Góry Bialskie ) is a part of the Sudetes on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic . It extends over about 10 × 10 km. The Czech part, even earlier than belske vrchy is referred to as a part of the Králický Sněžník (in the Czech Republic since about 1950 Śnieżnik Mountains viewed).
geography
In the south and west it separates the Mohre (Morawka) from the Glatzer snow mountains , in the north and east the valley of the Biele (Biała Lądecka) forms the border to the Reichensteiner mountains (Góry Złote). Characteristics of this mountain range are its old mixed forests and the abundance of game. The mountains are almost uninhabited, the mining sites that were built before the Second World War no longer exist.
The southern part of the mountains lies in the Czech Republic and extends to the Old Town-Goldenstein Basin, in which the towns of Staré Město pod Sněžníkem (Moravian Old Town) and Branná (Goldenstein) are, the state border runs on the ridge that extends from the Kłodzko Schneeberg (Śnieżnik / Králický Sněžník) up to the Ficht (Smrek / Smrk) and forms the watershed between the catchment areas of the Oder and Danube .
The highest mountain is the Postawna / Travná hora ( meadow mountain ) with 1124 m nm , over whose summit the border runs. Two kilometers northeast of this mountain is the Smrek / Smrk (Ficht), the highest peak in the Reichensteiner Mountains .
In the south-eastern part of the mountains, on both Czech and Polish territory, there are the Saalwiesen (Puszcza Śnieżnej Białki), which have been declared a nature reserve on the Polish side . This moor lies at an altitude between 1000 and 1050 m and is characterized by the occurrence of protected plants and primeval forest. A legend reports that a city of Salovia should have stood here. The Saalwiesenbaude once located here no longer exists.
Another nature reserve is the Nowa Morawa at the source of the Mohre (Morawka) west of the Jawornik Graniczny.
