The Sudetes are a mountain range in CentralEurope. They are also known as the Sudeten after their German name and Sudety in Czech and Polish.
The range stretches from eastern Germany ( West Lusatian Hill Country and Uplands) by Tripoint to south-western Poland and to northern Czech Republic. The highest peak of the range is Sněžka ( Polish : Śnieżka) in the Krkonoše ( Polish : Karkonosze) mountains on the Czech Republic – Poland border, which is 1,603 metres (5,259 ft) in elevation. The current geomorphological unit in the Czech part of the mountain range is Krkonošsko-jesenická subprovincie (" Krkonoše -Jeseníky"). It is separated from the Carpathian Mountains by the Moravian Gate. The highest parts of the Sudetes are protected by national parks; Karkonosze and Stołowe in Poland and Krkonoše in the Czech Republic.
The Krkonoše Mountains (also called the Giant Mountains ) have experienced growing tourism for winter sports during the past ten years. Their skiing resorts are becoming a budget alternative to the Alps.
