The Valley of Rabski Potok, offers a lot of interesting attractions even though it is still poorly discovered. Among the attractions are Carpathian flysch opencasts and posts of pine trees, which are 62 to 235 years old. To watch them one should go along the natural and geological path located at the Huczwice quarry. Hiking around the quarries one can find i.a. rock crystal and other precious minerals. There is also a natural reserve "Gołoborze" (Stone run) that protects the natural boulders of Istebnian sandstones. These are the lowest situated stone runs in the Polish Carpathians. It is worth to try from the "Anna" well the unique mineral water, which contains lithium and arsenic. Other attractions include the Synarewo Chapel and Lakes Bobrowe at the foot of Chryszczata.

The tourist infrastructure in the form of large parking lots, resting places, information boards and shelters are also well developed. In 2014, just next to Rabski Stream by a small pond a large wooden shelter which can easily fit 60 people was built. Under the roof are benches and tables, next there is a place for a bonfire and benches and a toi-toi toilet. One of the few routes available for persons using wheelchairs or families with prams was also created here.
