Biala Lądecka (Biala Kłodzka) river is located in Lower Silesia (Poland) and its valley separates Góry Złote Mts. (Rychlebské hory Mts.) on the NE from Góry Bialskie Mts. on the SW. We conducted geomorphic investigations on the Biala Lądecka river basin, in order to determine if Quarternary tectonic activity at the Bělský fault (or near Marginal Sudetic fault) is contributing to the river’s asymmetry. Our research was focused on analysis of selected landforms, DEM parameters, morphometric indexes and their spatial distribution which could potentially indicate recent tectonic activity in the area. At selected places geophysical measures were used to discover proper location and structure of Bělský fault or presence of suggested morpholineaments. Preliminary results suggest a Quaternary tectonic activity for the Bělský fault. Moreover we tried to clarify nowadays stress regime in study area based striae measurement on fault planes and precise monitoring of selected faults using TM-71 device.
