Wykroty [vɨˈkrɔtɨ] (German: Waldau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowogrodziec, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed in accordance with the post-World War II Potsdam Agreement among United Kingdom, United States, and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In accordance with the agreement the native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.

It lies approximately 8 km (5 mi) north-west of Nowogrodziec, 21 km (13 mi) west of Bolesławiec, and 124 km (77 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

The village has a population of 1,748.
