Pańska Góra (Orlické Mountains)

Pańska Góra is a hill at 772 metres above sea level, in the Orlické Mountains, in the Central Sudetes, south-west of Duszniki-Zdrój.

Location between river valleys

The hill lies in the north-western part of the Main Ridge of the Orlické Mountains, also known as the Czech Ridge, between the valleys of the Olešenka and Bystrá rivers. Lewin Kłodzki lies north of the summit, and the Polish-Czech border runs along the southern slope.

Geology and vegetation

The mountain is built of mica schists with interbeds of crystalline limestone. The northern slope and the summit are covered with spruce forest with an admixture of birch, the eastern slope is covered with meadow, and the lower parts of the western slope are occupied by forest and farmland.

Practical information

• The hill lies in the Lewin Kłodzki municipality, in Kłodzko County.
• The sources do not give a marked trail to the summit itself, so the route is worth checking on an up-to-date map of the Orlické Mountains before setting out.
• Nearby lie the Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój and the railway viaduct in Lewin Kłodzki.
