Geomorphology of the Sowie Mountains (Sudetes, SW Poland) – Landform patterns and anthropogenic impact

The Sowie Mountains in the central part of Sudetes range are an under-researched area terms geomorphology, despite their potential representativeness for a large number terrains within Bohemian Massif, built metamorphic bedrock. Apart from providing overview past work, paper summarizes main topographic features massif using visualizations digital terrain model, and outlines wide anthropogenic impacts on relief. Characteristic landforms include faultgenerated lithology-controlled escarpments, ridge-and-valley topography near water-divide flats, gneissic tors, agrarian terraces various related to former mining military use.
