Trójmorski Wierch
Trójmorski Wierch (, in Polish language, Polish until 1946 Klepacz, cs, Klepáč, german: Klappersteine) is a peak in the Snieznik Mountains range. It lies on the Czech Republic–Poland border. It is a triple divide, triple point of the European watershed. Water from the peak may flow either to the Baltic Sea via Eastern Neisse and Oder, to the Black Sea via Morava (river), Morava and Danube and to the North Sea via Orlice and Elbe.

The Czech, German and former Polish names are based on the clapping sound made by loose stones scattered on the peak in high winds or upon stepping on them.
