Project description
The project entitled Cultural and Natural Heritage for the Development of the border region of Poland and the Czech Republic "Shared Heritage" has been implemented by 11 partners from 8 regions situated along the Polish-Czech border.
The main purpose of the project is to increase the volume of Polish, Czech, and third country visitors to the border region of Poland and the Czech Republic. The area covered by the project In Poland includes the following Provinces: Lower Silesia (partly), Opolskie (whole Province) and Silesia (partly), while in Czech Republic it includes entire regions: Liberec Region, Hradec Králové Region, Pardubice Region, Olomouc Region, and Moravian-Silesian Region.
Under the project, a number of different activities have been planned, which aim at promoting and informing potential tourists about the attractions they can visit and about the availability of tourist products. We strive to improve the quality of services provided in the promoted locations and venues, and to provide wider and more comprehensive promotion with regard to the historical, multicultural and natural uniqueness of the area. We do believe that our promotion of tourist values of the border region of Poland and Czech Republic will contribute to prolonging the stay of visitors to the support area.
Through this website (developed under one of the project activities) we aim to raise awareness of the attractiveness of the border region of Poland and the Czech Republic. We would like to present attractions in four main thematic groups: cultural heritage, nature, promotional events, and locations providing opportunities for active recreation.
On our website you will find descriptions of individual attractions / venues as well as the most recent information about upcoming events in the region, all in four language versions accompanied by photos.
