A dome above Bielice
Kowadło is a border peak in the southern part of the Golden Mountains, above the village of Bielice. Its domed summit is covered with young spruces and gneiss outcrops. From here you can see the Golden Mountains, the northern part of the Hrubý Jeseník and the foothills as far as Nysa, and even Opole.

A conventional boundary
The boundary between the Golden and Bialskie Mountains is a matter of convention, inherited from an old German division. Higher than Kowadło lies Brusek (about 1,120 m) – the summit of the Czech Smrk on the Polish–Czech border.
