Grodno, Suwalki to launch first ethno-cultural tourist route

           Grodno and Suwalki (Poland) are going to launch the first cross-border ethno-cultural tourist route, BelTA quotes Director of the Suwalki Chamber of Agriculture and Tourism Elzbieta Niedziejko.
This new tourist product is part of the international technical aid program “Improvement of cross-border region attractiveness through the introduction of ethno-cultural resources into the tourist activities (a trip to the ethnic fairytale)”. The project will feature two tourist routes: one on the Polish side (“Seven fairy-tale villages”) and one on the Belarusian side (“Belun’s Inns”). The Belarusian section of the route will feature the royal heritage of Grodno and the museum of Yefim Karsky, the Ozery natural reserve, the Jewish Culture Museum in Radun, and the Czeslaw Niemen House-Museum in Vasilishki, among other things.
The cross-border ethno-cultural tourist route will become fully operational in the second part of June. The first people to travel along this route will be Belarusian journalists.
