The Kaczawa (until 1945 German: Katzbach) is a small river in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland. It springs from the Bóbr-Kaczawa Mountains near Kaczorów and flows north and northeast through the towns of Świerzawa, Złotoryja, and Legnica. After a length of 98 km the Kaczawa empties into the Oder river at Prochowice. This bridge across the Danube River links Hungary with Slovakia. ... Lower Silesian Voivodeship. ...

The Kaczawa complex is the largest geological unit of the Sudetes, and is built of the Palaeozoic volcano-sedimentary rocks metamorphosed during the Variscan orogeny in greenschist facies conditions.
In the tectonic model of the evolution of the Kaczawa complex which is presented here, the western part (lower structural units) of the Kaczawa complex belongs to the Saxothuringian Terrane, and those structural units overriding the Kaczawa zone, mainly the Dobromierz and Jakuszowa units, belong to the Central Sudetic Terrane.
The main tectonic structures of the Kaczawa complex formed by the sinistral transpressional processes (D1 deformation) and later was modified by local development of extensional structures during the late-Variscan orogeny (D2 deformation) and then followed by the brittle Alpine deformations.
