Bieruń
Góra Chełmeczki is a modest hill of 264 m above sea level on the edge of Bieruń in the Bieruń-Lędziny district. Despite its small height it stands out clearly above the surrounding fields and serves as a local landmark, readily visited by residents of the Upper Silesian conurbation.
The most interesting building is the historic chapel of Our Lady of Częstochowa, laid out on a rectangular plan and closed with a semicircular apse. Inside, wall paintings and Baroque sculptures of saints have survived. The chapel stands at a crossing of field tracks, in the shade of an old tree; once a year, usually in spring, mass is celebrated here. A figure of Saint Anthony with the Child stands nearby.
The summit offers a wide view over the surrounding plain and the buildings of Bieruń. A gazebo with information boards and maps of nearby routes has been set up on the hill. A red waymarked trail leads to the top; the walk from the centre of Bieruń takes about forty-five minutes. A popular cycling route passes right beside it.
