Geography
It is a small chain village in the south-eastern part of the Ścinawskie Hills. It lies at an altitude of about 380–415 m above sea level, in a fairly deep valley, through which flows down a small stream. These hills are built of red-spotted slugde with melafir clusters. Suszyna features a variety of minerals and precious stones including amethyst and agate. In one of its hamlets - Mrówieniec (Ger. Finkenhübel b. Seifersdorf) between 1830 and 1840, high quality graphite was extracted.

Why this record matters
The phrase “village in Lower Silesian, Poland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2369872. Authority coordinates are 50.477, 16.523. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1975, 1998, 1830 and 1840.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
