I don't know why it says that cycling is prohibited. Unless it concerns the area around the monument. You can get there by car from two sides, and by bike from three.

One of the oldest parishes in the diocese. Its origins go back to the 12th century. In 1221 Duke Leszek the White donated the village to the monastery in Sulejów. In the 15th century the bishop of Kraków had his estate here and he had the right to found the parish. By the end of the 19th century, the commune included the territory of the commune of Annopol and a village beyond the Vistula. In addition, it was equipped with farmland and meadows. In addition to the pastor, there were 1 or 2 vicars in the parish and in the 18th century there was also a bailiff. A hospital is mentioned in the 18th century and the library held several works. In religious life there were brotherhoods that prayed the rosary, among other things. The archive contains, among other things, records of baptisms, marriages and deaths since 1811 (translated from Wikipedia).

Monument of inanimate nature. The town of Łany "Źródliska". Water flows from the ground creating beautiful water and sand geysers. An interesting fact is that the water temperature has been invariably 10.2–10.30 C for years, regardless of the season. Water from the springs is drinkable (spring water), has a very good taste with a low content of chlorides.
