The "Sosnowy cuddly" campsite is a great place to relax, although there are many people there on weekends. Toilets and showers are of a good standard, clean and well-maintained. The water in Lake Czarna is clean, and there is a pier on the small beach.

The former water mill in Bieleckie Młyny, and the trail turns left before the mill and the bridge over Czarna Nida and leads towards the Morawica Reservoir. From here it is not far to the Świętokrzyska Calvary and the ruins of the Oraczewski chapel and the former water mill in Morawica. Nearby, in the historic manor park with an outbuilding built in 1858, you can contemplate the beauty of nature and catch your breath before continuing your hike, which through Brzeziny, next to the late Renaissance, historic church and Nida, including the peak of Mount Hoża (Hosa), leads to the Chęciny commune, located in the Chęcińsko-Kielce Landscape Park. At 37.4 km of the trail, we will reach the Lipowica Reservoir - once forgotten, today it is a recreational place with educational and natural values, with bicycle, walking and educational paths, as well as viewing terraces.

Further along the trail, you can see the remains of Mieczysław Drewicz's manor house, which was a partisan outpost during World War II. In its vicinity and in the area of Wydrzysz, a number of bunkers were built, which until almost the end of the war served as storage and supply facilities for underground organizations. At 17.8 km of the trail, from the mountain without a name (256.9 m above sea level), there is a beautiful view of the Czarna Nida valley and the Świętokrzyskie Mountains in the distance. Going further, you pass the inactive Łabędziów quarry,

Green hiking trail Daleszyce - Chęciny, a whole 45 km of adventure. The trail starts just behind the market square in Daleszyce, runs through the Daleszyce Range, near the Słopiec Reserve, which includes protected natural peat bogs and sites of many rare plants, passes an inactive Paleozoic limestone quarry with several-meter-high rock walls and beautiful stromatoporoids and the Borków reservoir, runs all the way to the forest growing on the Szczecniański Ridge, where it crosses the borders of the Morawica commune and at the same time the border between the buffer zone of the Cisowsko-Orłowiński Landscape Park and the Chmielnicko-Szydłowski Protected Landscape Area. Walking along the forest wall, from a distance we will notice the buildings of Radomice II and beautiful autumn landscapes of fields and meadows. Deviating from the trail for a moment towards the forest at 12.2 km, we can reach one of many geological attractions. This is the Devil's Stone - a rocky outcrop made of Devonian sandstone with an interesting structure. Legend has it that the devil planned to throw this boulder on the church in Lisów, but when the church bells rang, he dropped it and it has remained there to this day.
