It is traversed by the upper Eastern Neisse river running from south to north and surrounded by the Table Mountains, Bardzkie Mountains and Bystrzyckie Mountains of the Central Sudetes in the west[2] as well as by the Snieznik Mountains, Golden Mountains and Owl Mountains of the Eastern Sudetes in the east. The mountain passes of Kudowa/Běloves in the west and of Międzylesie/Lichkov in the south connect to Czech areas around Náchod and Králíky respectively. Flowing through the valley, Nysa Kłodzka is joined by Biała Lądecka , Bystrzyca Dusznicka and Ścinawka rivers, and then exits it in the northeast through the Bardzkie Mountains to Bardo in Lower Silesia.[3]
In ancient times, the Amber Road led through the Kłodzko Valley.
The valley is part of the Kłodzko Land region, which is a tourist destination both in summer and winter, with numerous hotels, sanatoria and many mountain trails.[2]
