SZLAKAMI ARCHITEKTURY DREWNIANEJ

In the wake of Poland’s access to the European Union there emerged multiple new opportunities associated with obtaining additional funds for planned or inaugurated investments. Voivodeship offices and selfgovernment authorities are paying more attention to the tourist potential of their terrains and embarking upon attempts at exploiting them in regional promotion campaigns. One of the methods applied for popularising a given region has been the delineation of socalled thematic routes. An excellent example of this approach is the Wooden Architecture Trail presenting assorted unique examples of timber construction. The trail runs across three voivodeships: Little Poland, Sub-Carpathian and Silesian, where in 2001 the local marshal’s offices undertook the realisation of the joint project. Special emphasis is due to the fact that despite the completed establishment of the Trail, initiatives intent on its constant promotion are continued. It is precisely for this purpose that the Marshal’s Office of the Voivodeship of Little Poland has issued a CD record containing detailed information about the routes and objects comprising this particular fragment of the Trail.
