The paper presents a part of the research carried out in the Sudetes. The Karkonosze area was characterised in terms of inclination, exposition and utilisation. The results are presented as figures and numerical specifications (in tables). It was found out that the Karkonosze area is situated mainly in the altitude from 550 to 1100 m a.s.l. The area size increases along with the increase of inclination from the class 0-2° to class 18-20°, then it starts to decrease. The prevailing expositions are north, north-east and north-west. Flora in the area represents ecosystems of natural character and is distinguished by the predominance of forests. Only in the lowest zone a part of the area was transformed by man and is utilised agriculturally.
W niniejszym opracowaniu zaprezentowany został fragment wyników badań przeprowadzo-nych dla obszaru Sudetów. Teren Karkonoszy scharakteryzowano pod kątem nachylenia, ekspo-zycji. Do tego celu posłużyły zestawienia liczbowe ww. czynników w strefach wysokościowych 50 metrowych.
