Cultural and natural heritage is an unusually significant element in tourism development. The psychological (motive), spatial (landscape, but also its degradation), and cultural plane can be taken into account. Tourism popularizes cultural goods, allows people to find a new aim for pursuing their interests in the alternative and cultural tourist forms. One of the options is the cultural heritage tourist routes, emphasizing the historic material and immaterial output of humanity. The concept of discovering the European heritage through tourism is reflected by the Council of Europe project of European Cultural Routes, introduced in the 1980s. Its aim is a conscious development of tourism, raising the knowledge on the historic and cultural European heritage, promoting the European civilisation relics, as well as protecting the heritage through the specifically arranged tourist forms. On the European territory, there are now 39 European Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe, 26 of which have received categorising certificates of the organisation. Only some of the Council of Europe routes have formally determined courses on the territory of Poland.

Among the most important characteristics of contemporary Europe we can mention its cultural diversity and the mobility of its inhabitants. One of the forms of this mobility is the tourism closely connected with the environment in which humans live. Among various methods of heritage protection (including conservation, legal and organisational methods), tourism appears in its various aspects, such as the protection of the cultural environment for tourism or the protection of the cultural environment against the negative consequences of tourism. There is also the possibility of protection of cultural heritage through tourism. Apart from the adaptation of historic objects for the needs of tourist traffic, cultural routes can also contribute to the protection and maintenance of heritage. These opportunities are illustrated by the Programme of European Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe, which connects places with a similar historical, architectural or artistic shape. Its aim is to make Europeans aware of their cultural identity, to maintain and protect the European cultural heritage as a source of the social, economic and cultural development of the environment in which they live, and to grant a special place to cultural tourism. An example of this is the European Pilgrimage Route leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and to restore routes leading to it in the entire Europe. The inscription of Camino de Santiago on the UNESCO List, the revival of the cult of St. James and the popularity of the route resulted in the intensification of protection activities relating to the heritage located along various European routes, also in Poland.

Pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela have been undertaken since the 11th century. During the Middle Ages many routes were developed, which were followed by the people from the whole of Europe for their peregrinations to the relics of Saint James. The importance of the Sanctuary decreased in the 15th and 16th centuries. The 20th century saw the renaissance of pilgrimages to Compostela. This was ascribed to the pope the Blessed John Paul II. Currently thousands of people make the effort to walk to Santiago de Compostela to experience, like their predecessors, an encounter with God, to know themselves and the surrounding space. The reasons for the decision to venture on this peregrination differ widely and remain difficult to interpret. The article presents the initial results of a questionnaire completed by the pilgrims who reached Compostela in 2011.

At the end of the 1980s, the Council of Europe began to implement the Project called The European Cultural Routes which aimed at making Europeans aware of their cultural identity, preserving and protecting the heritage, giving special meaning to places connected with cultural tourism considering the principles of sustainable tourism, granting special priority to cultural tourism among other ways of spending free time and, last but not least, promoting European culture in its broad sense. The author describes the detailed procedure of creating routes and their themes which are presented in three groups – People, Migrations and Spreading of the main European trends in the fields of philosophy, art, religion, science, engineering and trade. Currently, more than 20 European Cultural Routes exist, with the special attention focused on “the Legacy of Al-Andalus” cultural route – the route established on the territory of Spain, and the countries of northern Africa and South America.
