The Kaczawskie Mountains is a double-sided map with an excellent scale of 1:40,000. The map sheet covers the Kaczawskie Mountains, the Kaczawskie Foothills, and the Izera Mountains. The mapped area is marked in the north by Lubań and Złotoryja, in the south by Jelenia Góra, in the west by Leśna, and in the east by Jawor.

The Kaczawskie Mountains is a small mountain range in the northwestern part of the Sudetes, extending over 30 km. The highest peak of the range is Okole (725 m above sea level), although according to the classification of the conquerors of the Crown of Polish Mountains, Skopiec (720 m above sea level) holds this title. The Kaczawskie Mountains and Foothills are referred to as the land of extinct volcanoes, and for good reason. Just look at the distinctive silhouette of Ostrzyca, which bears a striking resemblance to Japan's Fujiyama. Other volcanic peaks include Kamienna Góra, Górzec, Kopista, Rataj, and Bazaltowa Góra. We have marked them on the map with a special volcanic symbol that significantly enhances the view.

The Kaczawskie region, with its low elevations and the valleys of the Kaczawa and Bóbr rivers, invites active recreation. A dense network of hiking, cycling (including single trails), kayaking, horseback riding, and other paths has been established in this area. We have marked all of them on the map. The landscape parks of Rudawski, Chełmna, and Bóbr Valley are particularly recommended. It is impossible not to mention the medieval monuments (the Peace Church in Jawor), fortifications, castles, palaces, and other interesting places that can be found in abundance on the map.
