The Holy Cross and Łysa Góra have been places of worship for centuries, first pagan, and from the 12th century Roman Catholic. It is worth stopping here, because it is a true monument and a place with a considerable history.

The Holy Cross is a place of extraordinary historical and spiritual significance. At the top of Łysa Góra is the Sanctuary of the Relics of the Holy Cross, one of the oldest and most important sanctuaries in Poland. In addition to religious values, the area around the Holy Cross offers beautiful landscapes of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. For cyclists, there are many routes of varying difficulty, leading through picturesque forests and hills. It is worth remembering to be properly prepared, as some of the climbs can be demanding.
