Ptak (German: Vogel Berg) is a hill in the Włodzickie Hills, part of the Central Sudetes in south-western Poland. The summit rises to about 420 metres (1,380 ft) above sea level.[1]
Geography
Ptak lies in Kłodzko County in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, near the town of Nowa Ruda. The hill forms part of the chain of elevations surrounding the Nowa Ruda basin in the Włodzickie Hills.[2]
The Włodzickie Hills are a group of rounded elevations in the Central Sudetes. According to publications of the Polish Geological Institute, the range extends roughly 20 km in the drainage basin of the Włodzica River and lies between neighbouring Sudetic ranges such as the Owl Mountains and the Table Mountains.[3]
Ptak lies near other hills of the Włodzickie Hills including Chmielnik, Wesoła and Czerwona Góra.[2]
Landscape
The slopes of Ptak are mostly covered by mixed forest typical of the Central Sudetes. Forest roads and local walking paths connect the hill with neighbouring elevations and with the surrounding settlements in the Nowa Ruda area.[2]
