Tyniec Legnicki, on the Średzka Upland above the Cicha Woda stream, is an old agricultural village, first mentioned in 1316. From a distance, the tower of the local church is visible, which was erected in the 19th century on the site of an older structure. Within the church grounds, surrounded by a stone wall, there are remnants of a monument dedicated to those who fell during World War I. Outside, there is a stone cross that was relocated from Koskowice in the 1980s.
1.5 kilometres to the southwest, south of the Cicha Woda valley, there is a small village called Brennik, located on the edge of the upland. In Brennik, there is a well-preserved four-story palace from the mid-18th century. It was later renovated in an eclectic style at the end of the 19th century and in the 1920s. The palace has an irregular plan, composed of two distinct parts, stylized in the Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles. Adjacent to the palace, there are former agricultural buildings and a park with a pond. The palace now houses the “Prząśnik” Social Welfare Home.
Three kilometres to the southeast lies the village of Janowice, south of which are the remnants of old basalt quarries. One of the excavations is partially filled with water, while the other has been filled in or covered up. The occurrence of basalt near Janowice represents the furthest northeastern intrusion of basalt in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, located on the Silesian Lowland.
