Location of the Golden Mountains
The Golden Mountains (Polish: Góry Złote; Czech: Rychlebské hory; German: Reichensteiner Gebirge) are a mountain range in the Sudetes on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. Various ores were mined here from the 13th to the 20th century, including gold (Polish: złoto), hence the name Golden Mountains. There is a gold mine open to the public in Złoty Stok. It is the wildest, least civilized and least visited mountain range in Poland.
