Mountain range in the Czech Republic and Poland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Mountains (Czech: Rychlebské hory, Polish: Góry Złote, German: Reichensteiner Gebirge) are a mountain range in the Sudetes province on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. Various ores were mined here from the 13th to the 20th century, including gold 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.
