This place has been called "Bistro w Sienkiewiczówka" since its inception. You can buy a variety of drinks, soups, and simple main courses, usually cakes and sweets, ice cream, coffee, and tea, as well as several bottled beers. There are plenty of comfortable tables inside and out, a restroom, and it's tidy and welcoming. The owners are direct descendants of Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose historic residence is located right next door—a small palace with a museum you can visit. Next to the bistro, the owners also have a stud farm, which usually grazes in a visible paddock. This bistro hosts a variety of interesting guests; I once even witnessed guests arriving by helicopter. Seriously! :-) A nature trail begins next to the stud farm, leading through a beautiful and wild gorge to Mount Siniewska, from where you can descend 500 meters to a viewing platform with a sweeping view of the surrounding area.

An interesting reserve. There is still a quarry here (Tumlin sandstone is extracted here), and in the reserve you can see the remains of pagan circles from the 8th and 9th centuries. The most important and most obvious attraction here is the chapel of the Transfiguration of the Lord from 1850, which replaced the earlier, wooden one. The first one was supposedly built to celebrate the repulse of the Swedish army, but this may be just a legend.

Barania Góra is at an altitude of 427m. It is the highest elevation of the Oblęgorskie Range. The mountain is generally covered with forest, so no views, although if you go down a bit to the east - a minute's walk, there is a gap between the trees. The beeches and firs here in the Barania Góra reserve are beautiful.

In 1900, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his literary work, the Polish society organized a fundraiser for the future Nobel Prize winner and funded it in gratitude for his work. On this occasion, a civic committee was formed to prepare a program for the jubilee celebrations. The notarial deed was signed in Kielce on July 18, 1900 in the presence of counselor Tadeusz Kowalski and priest Zygmunt Chełmicki, who acted on behalf of the committee and the seller, notary Mieczysław Halik. The property was bought back for 51,249 rubles and 59 kopecks. The estate consisted of a total of 515 acres, including: 240 acres of forest, 160 acres of arable land, 90 acres of meadows, a park, an orchard, etc. With the funds left over from the collection, inventory was purchased for the writer (60 cattle, 6 horses, and agricultural machinery and tools). For this occasion, the sculptor Pius Weloński made a bust of the writer from white marble. The manor house designed by the Warsaw architect Hugo Kuder was built in 1895, the area around the palace, 49 hectares of land[3], was designed and arranged by the Warsaw gardener Franciszek Szanior. The road to the palace leads through the Red Gate and then through the linden alley.
