To the south-west, the mountainous region merges into the Turzovská vrchovina mountainous region and, to the west, into the Moravian-Silesian Beskids . To the north-west lies the Jablunkov furrow through which the Olsa rivers ( Jablunkovská brázda ).

The mountain range continues to Poland, but is not viewed there as an independent geomorphological unit, but as an undefined part of the Silesian Beskids. The most important places are Čadca and Jablunkov .
The Jablunkau Uplands are drained to the north by the Lomná and Olsa and to the northeast by the Soła . To the south the Čierňanka and its tributaries Čierny potok, Markov potok, Šľahorov potok, Milošovský potok flow to the Kysuca .
