Węgierska Górka, Mountain village in Żywiec County, Poland.
The settlement lies in the Żywiec Beskids mountain range along the Soła River, surrounded by hills at an elevation of 412 meters.
The village gained military importance during World War II when Polish forces constructed four defensive bunkers to resist the German invasion in September 1939.
The establishment of ironworks in 1838 by Adam Wielopolski transformed this rural area into an industrial center, attracting workers and changing local customs.
Travelers can reach Węgierska Górka through National Road 69 or by train on the Katowice-Skalite railway line, with regular connections to major cities.
The four military bunkers named Wędrowiec, Wąwóz, Waligóra, and Włóczęga remain standing as witnesses of the three-day battle against German forces.
