    On the top there is a church. St. Charles Borromeo and the monastery formerly belonging to Fr. Bernardine. It was created as a votive offering for bypassing Kielce by the plague of 1622. The monastery complex was built in the years 1624-1631 in the late Renaissance and early Baroque style. At the beginning of the 18th century, the monastery was rebuilt. Since 1957, the monastery has been under the care of the Pallottine Fathers.

      Multitude of routes nearby, ranging from asphalt, gravel and more technical mountain bike trails full of roots and rocks. Watch out for people walking through the forest. Church, parking and terrace can be quite busy during religious holidays and wedding season (warmer months' weekends).

        The monastery on Karczówka is a pearl of sacred architecture, which has a turbulent history related to the history of Poland. It is currently celebrating its 400th anniversary. It is a hilly area, perfect for mountain biking :) I will add that in the monastery courtyard dowsers found the existence of a chakra - a place emitting very strong, good energy. Believe it or not, it won't hurt to rest there for a few minutes. When I'm in the courtyard, I always walk for 20-30 minutes :)
