The park at Pałac Odrowążów features a bell tower with eight bells. A Way of the Cross runs around it, with folk-style sculptures at the individual stations. This brings together a striking tower and a route with designed stations in one place. Visitors interested in religious art and the design of a Way of the Cross will find a specific cultural point of interest here.

The rebuilt late-Baroque palace in Kamień Śląski houses the Sanctuary of Saint Hyacinth. The palace and the sanctuary represent two aspects of the same place: the building and the religious site housed within it. This connection gives cultural planning a clear focus, without requiring the palace and sanctuary to be treated as separate destinations.

The Church of Saint Hyacinth serves the residents of Kamień Śląski and Kamionek. At the same time, many pilgrims and tourists visit the church, both in organized groups and individually. They come because the birthplace of Saint Hyacinth is nearby. The church is therefore notable both for its role in the local community and for visits prompted by religious interest.

The black cycling route runs from Kamień Śląski along the wall surrounding the palace park. A bike ride in Kamień Śląski can also be extended with a loop around the golf course and the Sanctuary of Saint Hyacinth. These landmarks offer a useful comparison: the black route follows the park wall, while the extended ride focuses on the golf course and sanctuary. You can choose the route based on which of these places you want to include in your plans.

The European ground squirrel meadow lies along the cycling route described here. You can observe it from an observation hut or from benches along the route. These spots also give the ride a nature focus: alongside the architectural and cultural themes, the meadow can be a reason in its own right to explore the route.

Benches beside a pond at Plac Myśliwca in the center of the village give visitors a place to rest. This is a different kind of stopping point from the observation hut and benches along the cycling route: at Plac Myśliwca, you can rest by the pond; along the route, you can watch European ground squirrels. Depending on your interests, you can include these different options in your day’s plans.

Sebastianeum Silesiacum has an indoor swimming pool with two pools for swimming and exercise. Its facilities also include a water cascade for massage. These features give the indoor pool a specific profile if you would like to include swimming or exercise in your travel plans. If a visit to the indoor pool is essential to your plans, check visiting options directly with Sebastianeum Silesiacum.
