On the market square you will find several information boards describing the history of the city, the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and the building of the former town hall, entered on the list of historical monuments. The beginnings of the town hall date back to the 14th-15th centuries. Situated in the middle of the market square, over the centuries it has been destroyed by fires and rebuilt many times - its current shape refers to the late Baroque reconstruction from the 18th century. It is distinguished by a characteristic turret from 1997.

Perfectly smooth service road along the Eska. However, you have to be careful, because there may not be many cars on it, but when they appear, they go no slower than on the aforementioned Eska ;)

Asphalt in the middle of the forest would be nice, but it's not that good. The marked section (as of August '24) is a dirt road - good quality, if you insist you can even roll over 28mm, from 32-35mm it's easy.

This church is a minor basilica whose patron saint is Catherine of Alexandria. Nothing remains of the first wooden church from the 12th century. The imposing building in front of you is neo-Gothic in style. One of the last reconstructions dates back to 1859. Towards the end of the Second World War this sacred place was destroyed again, then rebuilt in the early 1980s, to be consecrated in 1986.
