The Piekło Cave under Skiby is 57 meters long.

Where does this name come from? Apparently the locals gave it the name "Piekło" because devils were supposed to fly out of its interior. The cave has sculptures of devils made by Krzysztof Jasiński.

Dom z Gałęzi Cave (Bartie Urbański Cave)

Highlight • Cave

Piekło pod Skibami Cave - a cave located on the north-western slope of Góra Żakowa in the Zelejów Range, east of Gałęzice. The total length of the cave is 57 meters, of which the main corridor is 20 m long. Currently, the new name of the cave is "house of branches". Barti Urbański. The cave has a very poor dripstone consisting of several occurrences of calcite glaze. The cave, and in particular its narrow and difficult-to-access side corridors, are inhabited by bats, including the following species: the greater bat, the long bat, the gray long-eared long-eared bat and the western bat. Some species of spiders can also be found here.

Royal Castle in Chęciny

Highlight • Castle

The Royal Castle in Chęciny was erected on the ridge of a rocky hill (367 meters above sea level), probably at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, on the initiative of Wenceslaus II, the king of Czech and Poland. The first references to the castle date back to 1306, when in a document issued by Władysław Łokietek, the castle (Latin: castrum nostrum ducale) together with 11 villages was to be handed over to the bishop of Krakow, Jan Muskata. The clergyman was a political opponent of Łokietek, whom Piast wanted to win over to his side, but the planned diplomatic operation backfired, so already in 1307 the stronghold re-entered the royal domain. From this period there is also a mention of the first castle official in charge of the Chęciny stronghold, named Wrocław [Latin: Wroclaw].
