The Przewodziszowice watchtower is the ruin of a medieval stronghold hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Żarki, in the heart of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. A fragment of a defensive wall up to 10 meters high has been preserved, which is the remains of a tower built probably in the 14th century. The watchtower could have served as an auxiliary function for the nearby Ostrężnik Castle, and according to legends, it was the seat of the robber knight Mikołaj Kornicz, who attacked the nobles and hid treasures in rock crevices. A forest path leads to the ruins - the terrain is rocky and uneven, so it is best to ride a mountain bike. This is an atmospheric and lesser-known place on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests.

Right next to it is a rest area with a shelter and trail markings.
