Via Sacra - A contribution to cross-border networking and the development of a tourist product in the border triangle

The aim of the project is to create a Via Sacra tourist product in the border triangle that guests can experience. This connection is to be achieved by designing a cycling and hiking route along existing cycling and hiking trails on the Polish side. 
This will make a positive contribution to improving the attractiveness of the border region and preserving the shared cultural heritage, in particular the sacred history and sacred monuments and facilities.
Spiritual travel is playing an increasingly important role in tourism. The development of tourist products along the Via Sacra pilgrimage route, which already exists on the German and Czech sides, is intended to create new reasons to travel. 

The project was applied for by the Marketing-Gesellschaft Oberlausitzer-Niederschlesien mbH (LEAD partner).

The project partner is the Dolnośląska Organizacja Turystyczna (DOT) from Wrocław. 

The project runs from 01.02.2024 to 31.01.2026. 

Planned results of the project are Route development and digitization of the hiking and cycling pilgrimage route on the Polish side, information event for the population in the border region, creation of a Polish website for the Via Sacra or addition of the pilgrimage and cycling pilgrimage route to the Via Sacra website including translation into Polish, creation of Via Sacra information material on the German and Polish side, implementation of marketing projects on the German and Polish side, Via Sacra promotion tour, implementation of a final cross-border conference.

The project partners are jointly responsible for achieving the project results.
