Touristic attractions of the region

Świętokrzyski region is located between the rivers of Vistula and Pilica, and its heart is occupied by Świętokrzyskie Mountains – the oldest mountain range in Poland (along with Sudetes range). Its highest peak, Łysica, is 612 metres tall and lies within the Łysogóry range.

Łysogóry form the Świętokrzyski National Park and, as such, it is the region under protection.

We recommend our guests to visit:

 



Bałtów Jura Park, where one may admire real-size dinosaur models.



Royal Castle in Chęciny, which hosted conventions of noblemen and concentration of knights before the war with the Teutonic Order. The castle consists of two sections: the upper one with two round towers, and a large lower part with square tower and nearby remains of water well.



Henryk Sienkiewicz Museum in Oblęgorek, located in a manor donated to the writer in 1900 by the Polish society on the 25th anniversary of his literary work.



Tokarnia Kielce Village Museum (Ethnographic Park), which comprises 25 objects of rural architecture.



Bartek Oak in Zagnańsk – estimated to be 600-1200 years old.



Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd, erected between 1626 and 1644 by the order of Krzysztof Ossoliński. As the legend goes, the structure of the castle has four towers (like seasons of a year), 12 halls (months), 52 rooms (weeks of a year) and was said to have 365 windows (days of a year).
