Sudetes Foothills or Sudeten Foreland[1] (Przedgórze Sudeckie, Czech: Krkonošsko-jesenické podhůří, Sudetské podhůří, German: Sudetenvorland) is an area (macroregion) located north of the Sudetes proper, being connected with them, but separated from the Sudetes by a distinct tectonic line (Sudetic marginal fault). The bulk of the region is located within Poland and a small portion is part of the Czech Republic.[2]
The highest elevation is Ślęża at 718 m above sea level.
From the northwest, the Sudetes Foothills border with the Silesian-Lusatian Lowland, from the northeast with the Silesian Lowland, from the southeast, south, and southwest with the Sudetes.
