Attractions and Places To See around Cisek - Top 20

This is an active field airport (I don't know who described it as former). A wide strip of land serves as an airport for DROMADER firefighting aircraft (one is stationed at the Aeroklub ROW airport in Rybnik). The airport is located amidst forests and, as a curiosity, there are also water tankers located on it (on elevations - mounds, so that water can be gravity-fed for aircraft participating in firefighting operations). Of course, there is no control tower or service there - you won't be flying on vacation from this airport either, but during a fire - I assure you, things will be happening there...

The palace in Sławików is the ruin of a 19th-century eclectic residence located in the Silesian Voivodeship, surrounded by a vast landscape park. The building belonged to, among others, the von Eikstedt family, who gave it a neoclassical character and enriched it with an orangery and an impressive elevation with towers and a columned portico. The palace was destroyed at the end of World War II, and in the post-war period it fell into ruin. Since 2018, the Rudnik commune has been carrying out activities to protect the building from further destruction. Access by road bike is possible, although the last section may lead through uneven terrain. A place worth visiting for history and architecture enthusiasts.

The castle in Polska Cerekwia is a historic building whose history dates back to the 14th century. In the 16th century, it became the property of the von Oppersdorff family, and in the years 1562–1563 it was rebuilt. In 1617, Frederick III von Oppersdorff transformed it into a late Renaissance palace with a three-winged form with a courtyard and two octagonal towers. The castle façade is distinguished by an impressive portal with the coat of arms of the Matuschka family and Latin inscriptions commemorating its expansion. The building is part of a 17th-century castle complex, which was rebuilt in the 19th century and also includes a historic park.

Beautiful forests, great gravel bike paths.

On the road from Rudy to Kuźnia Raciborska, in the place where the "Corvey" forester's lodge used to be, there is a small parking lot, from which you can go on foot or by bike to Góra Zamkowa, better known as Schlossberg. It is a small hill in the middle of the forest, on which, according to legend, there was a castle where robbers lived. Today, the robbers are gone, and in the place of the old castle there is a nice wooden chapel, placed on a stone pedestal. There is a wooden shed next to it, where, if the mosquitoes don't eat us, we can take a break.

Sobieski's Oak - an over 400-year-old specimen of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) located in the Łężczok nature reserve, within the administrative borders of Racibórz. It is the thickest and oldest tree in Racibórz, the Łężczok reserve, and also one of the three oldest and most impressive trees in the landscape park called Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie. The oak got its name from the legend according to which the tree was planted to commemorate the stay of King Jan III Sobieski in those areas during the march to the relief of Vienna in 1683. It is known, however, that it is not true, because in 1683 the tree was already about 100 years old. In turn, Jan Duda, in the publication "Natural Peculiarities of Racibórz" published in 2001, writes about the application according to which the king was supposed to stop under an oak tree on his way to Vienna. The oak is part of the tradition of Sobieski trees, well-known in Upper Silesia. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C4%85b_Sobieskiego_w_%C5%81%C4%99%C5%BCczoku
