The Świętokrzyskie Mountains, crossed by many trails, are the tourist centre of the Świętokrzyskie Region.
It is also the oldest, next to the Sudeten Mountains, mountain chain in Poland. Their highest range – Łysogóra and Łysica (612 m above sea level) and parts of the Klonowskie and Pokrzywiańskie ranges, are protected within the Świętokrzyski National Park. The greatest peculiarity of these mountains is the stone runs. One of them, located on Święty Krzyż Mountain, can be seen from a specially constructed viewing platform. Located next to the monastery is the multimedia Świętokrzyski National Park Natural Museum.
