Kościelec (German: Kirchhäuser Koppe) is a mountain in the Włodzickie Hills (Wzgórza Włodzickie), part of the Nowa Ruda Depression, part of the Central Sudetes in south-western Poland. It rises to 596 metres (1,955 ft) above sea level.[1]
Geography
Kościelec lies in Kłodzko County in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, near the town of Nowa Ruda. The mountain forms part of the Włodzickie Hills, a group of rounded hills situated between the Owl Mountains and the Table Mountains in the Sudetes.[1]
The summit rises above the surrounding villages of Włodowice and Dzikowiec and forms one of the prominent elevations in the central part of the range. Nearby hills include Krępiec, Pisztyk, and Pardelówka.[2]
The slopes of Kościelec are covered mainly with mixed forest typical of the Central Sudetes. Forest roads and hiking paths connect the mountain with other parts of the Włodzickie Hills and the surrounding countryside.[2]
