Tips from the Community
The church itself has nothing special to offer and is closed. But it is a striking building in the village and, on sunny days, offers a place to rest on the lawn in the churchyard, shaded by a large tree. There are two shops just a short distance away (south of the church).

The marina at Zalew Mietkowski is a great place for a short bike trip. The reservoir offers beautiful views of Ślęża, and the surrounding area is ideal for road cycling on flat terrain. You can stop at the marina, which offers water equipment rentals if you feel like taking a break from cycling. It is worth taking a swimsuit, especially on warmer days, as the reservoir has a sandy beach.

Easy and pleasant walk not far from Jarnołtowo along the Radakówka river. Along the way fields with sheep and horses, nice bridges and green alleys.

This forest here, to which Matematyczna Street from Ratyń leads, is a beautiful and peaceful spruce forest, where comfortable paths, great for easy walks, are intersected many times by small rivers. A nice place.
