Glinianki (336 m a.s.l.) is the highest peak of the Grzywy Korzeczkowskie mountain range. The range is approximately 5 km long and no more than 1.2 km wide. It lies at the confluence of the Hutka stream and the rivers Biała and Czarna Nida. Biała and Czarna Nida merge to form the Nida River near the village of Żerniki, 4.5 km south of the range. Glinianki, like the entire range, is composed of Jurassic limestone. There are large industrial sand pits operating in Mosty.
After the death of King Sigismund I the Old, the widow Queen Bona decided to leave Poland and return to her native Italy. Before her departure, she settled in Chęciny, where she gathered numerous treasures she intended to take with her. When the time for departure came, all the valuables were loaded onto twenty-four carts pulled by one hundred and forty horses. After a few kilometers, while crossing the Biała Nida River, the wooden bridge collapsed and all the treasures sank in the river. From that moment, the place was called Mosty, just like the settlement that was founded at the site of the fateful crossing. When Queen Bona died in her native Italy, her spirit returned to the Checiny Castle. She wanders the castle walls searching for remnants of her treasures.
South of Glinianki, in the village of Tokarnia, the Ethnographic Park, Museum of the Kielce Village was established in 1976. The museum collects and makes accessible to the public artifacts of folk and small-town culture from the broader Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship.
The peak of Glinianki is traversed by the yellow hiking trail of Juliusz Braun from Wierna Rzeka to Chęciny. At the southern foot, a red cycling trail leads through the village of Mosty.
