The Przewodziszowice watchtower is the ruin of a medieval stronghold hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Żarki, in the heart of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. A fragment of a defensive wall up to 10 meters high has been preserved, which is the remains of a tower built probably in the 14th century. The watchtower could have served as an auxiliary function for the nearby Ostrężnik Castle, and according to legends, it was the seat of the robber knight Mikołaj Kornicz, who attacked the nobles and hid treasures in rock crevices. A forest path leads to the ruins - the terrain is rocky and uneven, so it is best to ride a mountain bike. This is an atmospheric and lesser-known place on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. Right next to it is a rest area with a shelter and trail markings.

The Church of St. Giles in Zrębice is a wooden, historic temple from 1789, built on the site of an older building on the initiative of parish priest Wojciech Buliński. It is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian province and attracts attention with its baroque interior, including altars, a 17th-century figure of Jesus and a cult painting of St. Giles. The church has a log structure, covered with shingles, and in the surroundings it is also worth seeing the historic bell tower and monumental linden trees.

The monastery complex in Mstów is one of the oldest and most interesting religious sites in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The monastery of the Lateran Canons was probably founded in the 13th century, although there are indications that its beginnings date back to the 12th century. The complex includes the Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the 18th century, preserved fragments of Gothic monastery buildings and fortifications with nine towers and a gate, which today serves as a bell tower. The painting of the Mother of God of Mstów and the picturesque location of the monastery on the Warta River are noteworthy.
