Węgliniec, Railway town in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Located 22 kilometers north-east of Zgorzelec and 128 kilometers west of Wrocław, Węgliniec sits at an elevation of 191 meters above sea level.
The settlement, first mentioned in 1502 as Kohlfurt, became part of Prussia in 1742 and underwent military operations during the Third Silesian War from 1756 to 1763.
