INVITATION

The Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry of the Agricultural University of Wrocław in collaboration with Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences and the Section of the Geodynamics, Committee of Geodesy of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Center for Earth Dynamics Research of the Czech Republic are pleased to extend an invitation to the 6^th Workshop on "Recent Geodynamics of the Sudety Mts. and Adjacent Areas". This edition of the Workshop will be held in Łężyce (Poland) on November 4-6, 2004. You are hereby invited to contribute papers to this Czech-Polish Workshop. The Meeting will be a unique chance to benefit from the scientific programme, to have a fruitful exchange of knowledge, to foster new friendships and explore the potential of further scientific collaboration in the Sudety region.

VENUE AND DATE

The Workshop will take place at the hotel U ANNY in Łężyce near Duszniki Zdrój in the Kłodzko Land. Łężyce is a village at the foot of Szczeliniec Massif in the Stołowe Mountains. First mentioned in 1330. The Stołowe Mountains spreads in the Middle Sudetes between Kudowa Zdrój and Radków. It is the most picturesque part of the Sudetes. The mountains are built of nearly horizontal cretaceous sandstones of a different desingrate resistance and of marls. This peculiar structure contributes to its characteristic shape - plane tops with steep walls and rocks dominating over them as a result of long decay. In 1993 the Stołowe Mountains National Park was created on an area of 67 km2, to preserve the most precious complexes of rocks and plants. Places to see are the landscape sanctuaries:

• Szczeliniec Wielki with the highest (919 m) peak of the mountains and Błędne Skały. A touristic path with steps hewn in the rock leads from Karłów at its foot up. A labyrinth of rocks and unusual shapes of single rocks, sometimes resembling animal profiles (Owl, Sitting Hen, Camel) lend charm to the landscape. A special attraction is a 100 m long and 17m deep rift between rocks called Piekiełko (Small Hell), named so for darkness and eternal snow filling the fissure. A part of Didactic Path of Rocky Sculptures goes through Szczeliniec Wielki - there you can find information boards explaining its geological structure in detail.
• The next rock area is called Błędne Skały, high up to 852 m above sea level. They form an enormous labyrinth of rocks that come in fancy shapes; it reminds of a rock town with stone tables, towers, mushrooms and tunnels - some of them have their own names. The plateau on the western end of Błędne Skały is one of the best view points in the Sudety Mts.

The Kłodzko Land is a country with a unique landscape, sightseeing attractions, monumental palaces, castles, the old town in Kłodzko with its fortress, underground labyrinths, collections and exhibitions of the Regional Museum, monumental Paper Mill in Duszniki Zdrój, Museum of Matches in Bystrzyca Kłodzka, Skansen museum and the Chapel of Skulls in Kudowa Zdrój, Museum of Underground Mining in Nowa Ruda and many other attractions. There are also places of pilgrimage to the Holy Virgin in Igliczna Mountain, Wambierzyce - the Lower Silesia Jerusalem, Bardo with a famous basilica at the foot of which a picturesque gorge of Nysa Kłodzka starts. It is impossible to forget a monumental fortress in Srebrna Góra, at the outskirts of the Kłodzko Land and old mining town - Złoty Stok with a gold mine open for visitors.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

The scientific programme of the 6th Workshop proceeds the topics of the five previous Workshops organised in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. It is focused on the topics concerning the recent mobility of the Sudety Mts. and adjacent geological units:

• Geodesy - crustal movements, GPS networks, precise levelling, gravimetry,
• Geology - neotectonics, neovolcanology, geomorphology, remote sensing,
• Geophysics - seismology, geoelectricity, stress field, geomagnetism, heat flow.
