The Ostrężnik Castle was completely destroyed, and more precise information about it is missing. The castle is located in the forest on a hill and borders a rock, with which it was connected by passages. The mysterious and rather gloomy ruin of the fortress, probably dating from the 14th century, is one of the least known defensive structures of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The outlines of the walls are preserved in very poor condition. The layout of the castle, divided into upper, lower, and outer bailey, is also barely recognizable today.

The royal castle, probably built by Casimir the Great, was an important defensive point in the Middle Ages. In the 16th century, the castle was attacked many times, including by the troops of Archduke Maximilian. The ruins of the castle in Olsztyn near Częstochowa are picturesque remains of a 14th-century stronghold on the Eagle's Nests Trail. It is located on a hill, and its distinctive feature is a 35-meter high cylindrical tower. This is a historical place, surrounded by legends, including that of the ghost of Maćko Borkowic, and offering wonderful views of the surrounding area.

The Przewodziszowice watchtower is the ruin of a medieval stronghold hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Żarki, in the heart of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. A fragment of a defensive wall up to 10 meters high has been preserved, which is the remains of a tower built probably in the 14th century. The watchtower could have served as an auxiliary function for the nearby Ostrężnik Castle, and according to legends, it was the seat of the robber knight Mikołaj Kornicz, who attacked the nobles and hid treasures in rock crevices. A forest path leads to the ruins - the terrain is rocky and uneven, so it is best to ride a mountain bike. This is an atmospheric and lesser-known place on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. Right next to it is a rest area with a shelter and trail markings.

The Church of St. Giles in Zrębice is a wooden, historic temple from 1789, built on the site of an older building on the initiative of parish priest Wojciech Buliński. It is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian province and attracts attention with its baroque interior, including altars, a 17th-century figure of Jesus and a cult painting of St. Giles. The church has a log structure, covered with shingles, and in the surroundings it is also worth seeing the historic bell tower and monumental linden trees.

A well-trodden bike path leads to the site. The rock formations are impressive.
