Upper Market Square in Chęciny

Highlight • Settlement

Formed in the Middle Ages, it served as a trade settlement (fairs, fairs). Around the market square there are buildings dating back to the 15th century. Noteworthy tenement houses of Fodyga and Kozubkiewicz in the western part and a former well. The town hall from 1837 dominates the Market Square - currently the Commune and Town Office in Chęciny. The market square is a place with numerous gastronomy and accommodation facilities.

Zelejowa Mountain Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Definitely a great place, worth visiting. Entrance from the west is gentle on the grass, entrance from the east (Zelejowa Street in Łąki) at the end quite steep on slippery rocks along the ridge. Baby carriers for small children.

Góra Zelejowa Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

A beautiful route, but you should be aware that going from the eastern side (Zalejów in Łąki) we reach the top along a very steep, rocky trail, slippery after rain. The views are beautiful, but you have to be aware that at times you are climbing a narrow, slippery ridge. We had a 3-year-old in our team, luckily there was a baby carrier. Without the carrier it would be a problem.
