The Ścieżka Czarny Groń educational trail offers a clearly defined hiking option: it is about 7.5 km long, with the Czarny Groń Centre in Rzyki as both the starting point and endpoint. Along the way, the trail passes through the Pracica stream valley and over Smrekowica, Łamana Skała and Potrójna. It covers different ecosystems, especially forest landscapes, as well as interesting rock formations. The names of the stops and the approximate trail length help you distinguish this route from other hiking options.

Rzyki also provides direct access to mountain hiking trails towards Leskowiec and Groń Jana Pawła II. Part of the Beskidzka Droga św. Jakuba, the nearly 300 km Way of St. James through the Beskids, can also be covered on foot or by mountain bike from Rzyki. If you are planning a hike, you can choose between an educational trail with a described route and other paths towards the destinations mentioned.

The Czarny Groń ski resort has four illuminated slopes and modern ski lifts. The ski school offers lessons with qualified ski instructors for people of all ages, regardless of their prior experience.

Slope-side accommodation is also one of the accommodation options listed in Czarny Groń.

St. James's Church in Rzyki was built between 1793 and 1796. It was founded by Princess Apolonia Potocka, heiress to the Zator estates. Its furnishings include a Gothic sculpture from 1400 and another sculpture from the 16th century.

The region's cloth-making history offers another perspective on the area. After the first partition of Poland in 1772, there were 700 weaving workshops in Andrychów and the surrounding villages, including Rzyki. They exported locally made cloth to Europe and Asia. The weaving workshops are therefore part of the history of a wider area, not just Rzyki. Along with the church, this historical background offers different cultural themes to explore during your stay.
