Welcome to the Spiritual Energy Sites - the places from which you can draw handfuls of spiritual, physical and intellectual power, the places that are a centre of attractions, giving strength to the visitors. In search of spiritual forces coming from religion and places of worship, you can go on a journey to Święty Krzyż (Holy Cross Mountain), to Kałków-Godów, along the trail of Cistercians and sanctuaries. It is possible to visit the sec- luded enclaves of peace and tranquillity in the Golden Fo- rest Hermitage in Rytwiany, stop over at roadside shrines in Ponidzie and drop by to see a number of smaller and larger churches. You will be filled with intellectual power thanks to the jo- urneys to historical places of the Świętokrzyskie region and finding the traces of the past - the treasures left by the inhabi- tants of this land. Precious architectural monuments can be found e.g. in Sandomierz, Kielce, Pińczów or Szydłów. Thro- ughout the whole region there are numerous castles, palaces and manor houses (Ujazd, Kurozwęki, Sobków, Chęciny) while its rich culture and history are presented in interesting museums, memory chambers and on exhibitions. With per- fectly preserved technical monuments, you can experience a kind of a time travel to the times of Old Polish Industrial Region and come into contact with folk customs in Tokarnia Ethnographic Park. Thanks to a wide range tourist and spa activities you will also find here an inexhaustible source of physical power. Declining strength can be recovered at up-to-date spas in Busko and Solec-Zdrój. If you are looking for more extreme experiences, think about sports airports in Masłów and Piń- czów, horse riding centres, canoeing, ski lifts and interesting outdoor events. Contact with beautiful nature, untouched by civilization, will be established when you follow some of hundreds kilometres of walking/biking trails or enjoy attrac- tive water reservoirs. And this is only a part of the attractions you can enjoy when visiting the Świętokrzyskie Region.
