Rzyki, Agricultural village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Rzyki extends across the western part of Lesser Poland Voivodeship near the Silesian border, with mountains Gancarz, Leskowiec and Groń Jana Pawła II surrounding the settlement.

Between 1558 and 1560, Stanisław Tluczich established Rzyki under Vlach law, constructing essential facilities including a watermill, an inn, and a sawmill by 1563.

The Saint James the Greater church, constructed in 1796 and consecrated in 1808, stands as a registered cultural property and central point for local religious gatherings.

The village maintains a winter sports center with the Czarny Groń ski resort and ice skating facilities, offering recreational activities during cold months.

The name Rzyki derives from multiple streams flowing through the area, as the word 'rzeki' translates to rivers in Polish language.
