Piskorzówek [piskɔˈʐuvɛk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Domaniów, within Oława County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in southwestern Poland.[1]

It lies approximately 1 kilometre (1 mi) north-east of Domaniów, 13 kilometres (8 mi) west of Oława, and 27 kilometres (17 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław.

The name Piskorzówek is a diminutive form of the name of the nearby village of Piskorzów, which in turn comes from the Polish word piskorz, which means "weatherfish".[2]

Transport[edit]

The Polish A4 motorway runs nearby, north-east of the village.
