Summary/Abstract: The article presents the stages of gradual exploration of the Sudetes over the centuries. The main objective was to present descriptions and accounts published by Poles in the 19th century. The first wanderers gave their impressions of the visited region in local newspapers and chronicles, combining various thematic threads such as natural, historical, and socio-economic. These observations were taken into account based on the visits of Poles in the mountains, spas and anthropogenic facilities.
