A beautiful wooden church built here in 1753. Built here away from the lake (it was previously in Tęgoborze) because it was previously flooded by the lake (apparently some say that the faithful sailed to that church in kayaks!). Great views from the church!

Ciężkowice is known for Ignacy Paderewski, who was a composer and the Prime Minister of Poland in 1919. This beautiful manor house itself dates back to the 19th century. There is also a beautiful park with a nice pond and you will also find a bust of Paderewski here. Inside there is an interesting museum about Mr. Paderewski. Visiting is possible from Tuesday to Sunday. More information at https://centrumpaderewski.pl/zwiedzanie.html

An incredible view from Szpilówka (516m), especially from the observation tower here above the treetops. This tower, it turns out, is the highest such tower in the region (34m high). From here, there is a view of the Beskid Wyspowy, Beskid Sądecki and Pogórze Różnowskie.

This cross has been standing here since 1864, since the January Uprising, so Piekarska Góra is a tourist and religious place - although Piekarska Góra itself is a bit to the west. The peak itself is in the forest, and this place here is much more interesting. There is a good information board and a nice gazebo here.

The tower is 33 meters high. And the views are amazing. With good visibility you can see the Tatras.

St. Abalbert's Church dates back to 1662 and was consecrated in 1705. The two-part church building consists of a choir enclosed on several sides and a wider nave. The roof is covered with sheet metal. The interior of the church has a false barrel vault decorated with contemporary frescoes. Frescoes from 1688 have been preserved on the choir ceiling. In the center of the Baroque main altar is a 17th-century crucifixion group, and the side altars contain images of St. Adalbert and Our Lady of Sorrows. A valuable piece of furnishings is the baptismal font from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, with a wooden lid dating from 1663. Source: Information board
