The Central Sudetes (Czech: Orlická oblast or Střední Sudety, Polish: Sudety Środkowe, German: Mittelsudeten) are the central part of the Sudetes mountain range on the border of the Czech Republic and Poland. They stretch from the Nysa Kłodzka River and the Kłodzko Valley in the east to the upper Bóbr in the west.
The Central Sudetes comprise a number of mountain ranges, including:
- Orlické hory
- Bystrzyckie Mountains
- Bardzkie Mountains
- Owl Mountains
- Stone Mountains
- Table Mountains
The largest town within the Central Sudetes is Wałbrzych in Poland, where the Owl Mountains contain extended black coal reserves.
