Ruszów [ˈruʂuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Węgliniec, within Zgorzelec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Ruszów is within the historic Upper Lusatia, homeland of Lusatian Sorbs. It lies approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) north of Węgliniec, 31 kilometres (19 mi) north-east of Zgorzelec, and 133 kilometres (83 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
