The pedestrian and bicycle path "Szlakiem Kolejowym" runs along the route of the former railway line from Koźle to Baborów, inactive since 1997. This line, launched in 1882, was expanded all the way to Baborów, serving the transport of raw materials and products of the sugar industry. The route is 16 km long and leads through the communes of Reńska Wieś, Cisek and Polska Cerekiew, ending at the former railway station in Polska Cerekiew. On the trail, you can admire nature, monuments and the remains of the railway infrastructure. Nearby is the "Dębowa" reservoir, which is an attractive place for recreation.

The castle in Polska Cerekwia is a historic building whose history dates back to the 14th century. In the 16th century, it became the property of the von Oppersdorff family, and in the years 1562–1563 it was rebuilt. In 1617, Frederick III von Oppersdorff transformed it into a late Renaissance palace with a three-winged form with a courtyard and two octagonal towers. The castle façade is distinguished by an impressive portal with the coat of arms of the Matuschka family and Latin inscriptions commemorating its expansion. The building is part of a 17th-century castle complex, which was rebuilt in the 19th century and also includes a historic park.
