The Międzyleska Pass (534 m a.s.l.) is a fascinating gateway on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic, marking the natural divide between the Central and Eastern Sudetes. This wide, open saddle between the Bystrzyckie Mountains and the Śnieżnik Massif is a place where history, nature and mountain landscapes come together in a surprisingly gentle and welcoming way.
Unlike dramatic rocky passes, Międzyleska is broad and meadow-covered, with softly rising slopes that feel open and spacious in every season. The axis of the pass runs north to south, with the western slopes of the Śnieżnik Massif rising to the east and the eastern flanks of the Bystrzyckie Mountains to the west. The charming village of Boboszów sits at the foot of the pass. In spring and summer the meadows are lush and green, in autumn the surrounding hillsides turn golden — and the atmosphere is always calm and unhurried, with a pleasant sense of being at a crossroads between two worlds.
How to get thereThis unassuming pass was once a key section of the ancient Amber Road — as far back as the turn of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, Roman merchants guided their caravans through here, carrying Baltic amber southward across Europe. Walking this route today, you are literally following in their footsteps.
