Apart from the natural beauty, the Olszynka Grochowska nature reserve also has a historical value, because on the site of today's nature reserve took place fierce fights of the 1830 National Uprising. The reserve's fauna and flora is rich and varied. There are no signposted tourist routes, apart form the centrally located walking and cycling trail, which runs along Podhalanska St. connecting Goclawek district with Wygoda district. The reserve features the monument commemorating the freedom fighters perished during the Uprising.
