Geography

The Wałbrzyskie Mountains lie almost entirely within Poland. Several southern ridges reach as far as the Czech Republic. The range extends to the west and southwest of the Lower Silesian town of Wałbrzych (Waldenburg). The Owl and Falcon Mountains to the southeast form a continuation of the Wałbrzyskie Highlands. To the west of the highlands in the Western Sudetes are the adjoining ranges of the Bober-Katzbach Mountains and the Landeshut Ridge.
