Cichobórz [t͡ɕiˈxɔbuʂ] (German: Überschau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Prochowice, within Legnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south of Prochowice, 16 kilometres (10 mi) east of Legnica, and 47 kilometres (29 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
