Skamieniałe Miasto Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

It consists of a dozen or so rocks with their names and legends assigned to them. The passage of the reserve, along the blue trail, takes about 45 minutes. On the west side, in the Gorge of Scouts, a lot of benches and tables. On the eastern side of the reserve, we are quite close to the Ciężkowicki Gorge and the Czarownic Waterfall.

Witch Waterfall (Wodospad Czarownic)

Highlight • Waterfall

Many consider it the best place in the Ciężkowice area. Although in summer it is a small stream of water, it turns out that in winter it freezes and turns into a large icefall!

The huge rocks surrounding it are also impressive - maybe that is why there were legends about witches (hence the name of this waterfall/icefall) who held a sabbath here (those were the days, eh?)

Market Square in Ciężkowice, Paderewski’s bench

Highlight • Monument

The market square and Ciężkowice itself have characteristic buildings. The town is located on the Małopolska Wooden Architecture Trail.

On the market square there is a classicist town hall, the "Paderewski Bench" monument and a statue of St. Florian, the patron saint of the town.
10 minutes from the market square there is the Zbigniew Jurkiewicz Spa Park. And in neighboring Kąśna Dolna, there is the manor house of Ignacy Jan Paderewski surrounded by a park.
