Górki Śląskie is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nędza, within Racibórz County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7km (04miles) east of Nędza, 130NaN0 north-east of Racibórz, and 460NaN0 west of the regional capital Katowice.
After the division of Upper Silesia, the village remained within the German part. However to allow Polish trains in the nearby railway station of Sumina to shunt without entering German territory, a narrow strip of land around the railway lines was assigned to Poland. This borer is still visible today in administrative borders.[2]
