Głuszyca Górna [ɡwuˈʂɨt͡sa ˈɡurna] (German: Oberwüstegiersdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głuszyca within Wałbrzych County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech border.[1] It lies approximately 2 kilometres (1 mi) south-east of Głuszyca, 14 kilometres (9 mi) south-east of Wałbrzych, and 69 kilometres (43 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour camp in the village, in which they held hundreds of Italian prisoners of war.[2]
