Wierzbica Dolna (German: Deutsch Würbitz, 1936–1945 Niederweiden O.S.) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wołczyn, within Kluczbork County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]
Wierzbica Dolna is located in the northwestern part of Upper Silesia. The village of Wierzbica Dolna is about 8 km northwest of the municipality seat Wołczyn, 21 km northwest of the district town of Kluczbork and 53 kilometers north of the voivodeship capital Opole.
