Hotels in the mountains

The southern tip of the country consists of hills and mountains. In the southwest the Sudetic Mountains form part of the border with the Czech Republic. They are the broken remnants of an ancient massif. In places they reach more than 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). Farther east several ranges of the western Carpathian Mountains continue along the border. The major range is the Beskids. Farther south part of the Tatra Mountain range is located on Polish territory and contains Rysy, the highest mountain in Poland at 8,199 feet (2,499 meters). To the north of the Carpathians there are areas of hills, of which the most notable are the Holy Cross Mountains, which reach more than 2,000 feet (610 meters).
