Potoczek [pɔˈtɔt͡ʂɛk] (German: Töppendorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jerzmanowa, within Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-west of Jerzmanowa, 11 km (7 mi) south of Głogów, and 87 km (54 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
