Góra Modrzewiowa

Góra Modrzewiowa is a rise 703 metres above sea level at the western edge of the Śnieżnik Massif in the Sudetes, right on the border of the Śnieżnik Landscape Park, above Międzygórze in Kłodzko County. The former German name of the summit was Katzer-lehne.

A narrow ridge above the Nysa gorge

Modrzewiowa takes the form of a narrow ridge that separates the Muszany Dół valley from the gorge of the Upper Nysa. The western slope, descending into the gorge via Kocurowe Zbocze, is very steep and precipitous, unlike the gentler eastern side.

Geology and forest

The summit is built of gneiss rocks of the Lądek-Śnieżnik metamorphic complex, the same rocks that make up most of the range. It is covered by lower montane spruce-beech forest.

Near Międzygórze

From Międzygórze, at the foot of the mountain, it is close to the Wilczka Waterfall.

The same village is also home to the Fairy Tale Garden in Międzygórze.

Practical information

• Location: the western edge of the Śnieżnik Massif, above Międzygórze, Kłodzko County
• Getting there: most conveniently from Międzygórze
• What to expect: a wooded, narrow ridge with a steep western slope; the sources do not give a marked trail to the top itself or a viewpoint, so it is worth checking the route on a tourist map before setting out
