This early Gothic church in Szaniec is impressive, with a presbytery, north chapel and sacristy. The church is really beautiful - no wonder people have been photographing it for many years.

It is worth going to this viewing platform in the Zimne Wody reserve - beautiful views from the top, and only a few minutes' walk from the main path at the bottom. From here, admire the Borzykowska Valley and the Szaniecki Plateau, The Zimne Wody reserve is a hill cut by springs made of gypsum rocks - very beautiful here.

Vineyards in Poland? And yet! There is a vineyard on this street - where branded wine has been produced for 17 years. In Ponidzie there are many sunny days during the year - so it is possible. If you want to feel the taste of Ponidzie and you are at least 18 years old (!), take a look. https://winnica-zbrodzice.pl/

Not to be missed in Busko-Zdrój. The Spa Park is an integral part of the spa here. There is now a new Spa Park, but this oldest part was founded by Ignacy Hanusz in the first half of the 19th century. There are many different trees here: linden, sycamore, chestnut, maple, hawthorn and more!

An extremely old religious building from 1527. It is the only preserved religious building from the 16th century in the Kielce Region. It makes an impression - a small church built of wood (larch), almost surprising in its beauty.

One of the oldest churches in Busko-Zdrój. A wooden structure on a foundation, built in 1699. There are also many historic tombstones in the cemetery. You can only visit at certain times. The interiors are stunning: you don't have to be religious to appreciate the power of history.
