Brzeziniec [bʐɛˈʑiɲɛt͡s] (German: Birkicht) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mirsk, within Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech border.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north of Mirsk, 19 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of Lwówek Śląski, and 116 kilometres (72 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
