Miedzianka, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Former mining village in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Located at an elevation of 500 meters, Miedzianka stretches across a mountainous terrain in the Sudetes range near Jelenia Góra County.

The settlement received official town rights in 1519 and operated 160 copper mining excavations before shifting to uranium extraction in the 1940s.

The settlement bears witness to centuries of mining traditions through its preserved structures and local narratives passed down through generations.

Miedzianka connects to neighboring towns through regional roads and maintains a population of 75 residents within the Gmina Janowice Wielkie administration.

This former copper mining center transformed into a secret uranium extraction site after World War II, producing 600 tons for Soviet authorities.
