Magnificent view over the small town of Ińsko and the beautiful lake. A wide, comfortable metal staircase and even an elevator! Several floors offer ever-expanding views the higher you go.

The observation tower in Ińsk was built in 2019. It is a steel, openwork structure. It has eight terraces (floors), from which you can admire beautiful views. To get to the top, you have to climb 160 stairs or use the elevator. In the evening, the tower is illuminated, which is an additional attraction. Admission is free. It is worth deviating from the R20

The best preserved fragment of the defensive walls of Recz. The walls were built in the 14th-15th century from field stones. They were about 1.10-1.20 m thick, and at their highest point they reached a height of 5 m. The outline of the walls has been preserved on almost the entire perimeter, but most often it is just a low wall. In this place, in addition to the wall, two towers have also been preserved.

The railway station buildings with the water tower from 1895. The station is still operational, but the buildings no longer serve railway purposes.

The church was built in 1850 on the site of a former temple. Built of granite blocks, finished with brick, with neo-Romanesque forms. A wooden tower was built into the body of the church.
