The trail descriptions point in two directions. On the western route, a series of named points lies along the way: Gołuszkowa Góra (715 m), Żurawnica (726 m) and the village of Krzeszów, before the trail reaches the summit of Jaworzyna, also known as Groń Jana Pawła II, at 890 m. The route also names the PTTK mountain hut on Leskowiec, at 922 m. The names and elevations help distinguish the various sections of the route description, but they do not indicate how long the hike takes.

Eastward, the red-marked hiking trail runs over the Chełm Ridge (603 m) and Babica (727 m) to Myślenice. This gives you a choice of different directions and waypoints when planning your trip. The information describes the routes and elevations of the places mentioned, not the duration or difficulty of the hike. If you are planning your day, you can use the specific sequence of waypoints as a guide and decide on your own stages separately.

Several different architectural styles can be seen in the area. The Church of St John the Baptist was built between 1911 and 1913. Its Neo-Gothic design, brick construction and three-nave layout give it a different character from the Neoclassical, plastered brick manor house, which is listed in the register of monuments. A monument in the centre, erected in 1925 and funded by local residents, also commemorates those who fell in the First World War.

The Grodzisko is another trace of the past. Its fortifications were probably built between the 13th and 16th centuries on the site of an earlier settlement dating from the Lusatian culture. Reliefs on a stone pedestal in Zembrzyce were probably created at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries; the figures depicted include Cyril and Methodius. These places and objects offer different ways to explore history, and their dates should not be treated as though they were the same.

The local history room at the Centrum Rekreacji i Wypoczynku displays objects from the everyday lives of former residents of the municipality. Everyday life is the focus here, with exhibits dating back as far as the 19th century. If you want to explore local history beyond its buildings, you can combine a visit here with the historic sites described above.

The salt graduation tower at the Centrum Rekreacji i Wypoczynku nad potokiem Paleczka has seasonal opening hours: from 15 April to 15 October, it is open daily from 11:00 to 18:00. The running track at the same Centrum Rekreacji i Wypoczynku nad potokiem Paleczka follows a different schedule. From May to September, it is open from 8:00 to 22:00; in the remaining months, from 8:00 to 20:00. These differences matter when planning a visit: the opening hours for one attraction do not apply to the other.

The tourist information office is located at the Centrum Rekreacji i Wypoczynku. It is a specific point of contact for getting your bearings in the area; the opening hours given for the salt graduation tower and running track apply only to those attractions and do not indicate the information office’s hours.
