The Kłodzko Snow Mountains ( Masyw Śnieżnika in Polish ; Králický Sněžník in Czech ) is a ridge at the triangle of Silesia - Bohemia - Moravia , east of the Habelschwerdter Mountains . It forms the south-eastern limit of the Glatzer Kessel . The Bielengebirge adjoins it in the northeast . The state border between Poland and the Czech Republic runs on the ridge of the Kłodzko Snow Mountains . The highest point is the Glatzer Schneeberg (also Großer Schneeberg , Grulicher Schneeberg , Spieglitzer Schneeberg ; Polish Śnieżnik , Czech Králický Sněžník ) at 1425 m .
On the western edge of the mountain range is one of the two main Central European watershed points (the other is in Switzerland at the Lunghin pass west of Maloja ). The springs of three water catchment areas are located on the south-western slopes of the ridge : South-southeast of the summit, the water of the March flows from an altitude of 1380 m over the Danube into the Black Sea ; from the southern slope of the southwest lying Klapperstein (Polish Trojmorski Wierch (= Dreimeereberg), Czech Klepý ), 1145 m high, the water flows through the Lipka brook, the Stille Adler and the Elbe into the North Sea ; and the Glatzer Neisse rises on the western slope (and some tributaries), which flows into the Oder and then flows into the Baltic Sea . - The Krupá also rises in the mountains. The Śnieżnik hut is located in the region .
Trivia
The folk song The Little Well from Silesia is about the snow mountains:
The little fountain
1. And in the snowy mountains , a little fountain flows cold, and whoever drinks from it, and whoever drinks from it, stays young and never gets old.
2. I drank from it, many a cool drink. I didn't get old, I didn't get old, I am still young all the time.
3. Goodbye, my darling, I part, goodbye, my darling! But when will you come back, but when will you come back, dearest of all my?
4. When it snows red roses and rains cool wine. Farewell, my darling, I part, farewell, my darling, I part, farewell, my darling.
5. It's not snowing roses or raining wine, that's why you won't come back either, that's why you won't come back either, my dearest!
