Worth seeing

• On a hill of 317 m above sea level towering over the Dunajec valley was a gothic defensive castle, built by the castellan of Kraków, Spycymir, of the Leliwa coat of arms, around 1340-1354, around 1550, transformed into a Renaissance stronghold. In 1771, during the fights of the Bar Confederates, the castle was destroyed. To this day, the ruins of one tower and traces of the ground floor of the entire defensive structure with the outline of walls and ramparts have been preserved.
• From the castle hill there is an interesting view of the vast valley of the Dunajec, called the Zakliczynska Valley, with a winding ribbon of the river, and the hill of the Wieliczka Foothills.
