A crown from old measurements
Kłodzka Góra entered the Crown because, when the list was drawn up, it was considered the highest of the Bardzkie Mountains. The latest geodetic measurements gave first place to Szeroka Góra (765 m), and the article on Kłodzka Góra gives 757 m. In the 19th century the nearby Ostra Góra was in turn considered the highest.

166 steps
Kłodzka Góra is a junction from which ridges run in four directions. It is built of Lower Carboniferous greywackes and shales and covered with spruce forest. On the summit stands a 34.5-metre observation tower – 166 winding steps lead to its top terrace at 30.5 m.

A range cut by the Nysa
The Bardzkie Mountains, the easternmost range of the Central Sudetes, stretch for 20 km from the Srebrna Pass to the Kłodzko Pass. The Nysa Kłodzka cuts them into two ridges at the Bardo Gorge. The western ridge is broad and lower, the eastern one higher and sharply outlined: here rise Szeroka Góra and Kłodzka Góra, only 450 m apart and separated by a pass where trails meet. The range continues the Owl Mountains, but unlike them it is built of rocks folded in the Variscan (Hercynian) orogeny.
