Rzędkowice [ʐɛntkɔˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Włodowice, within Zawiercie County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 11 km (7 mi) north-east of Zawiercie and 51 km (32 mi) north-east of the regional capital Katowice.
The village is a popular destination for rock climbing; approximately 25 named limestone crags host approximately 470 routes in the region. Most rocks are south-facing; the area predominately facilitates sport climbing, but trad climbing and bouldering can also be found.
