The Wielkopolska Windmill Trail is a new product of industrial tourism. It has been established in order to protect historical mills and to make the regions more attractive in terms of tourism. It is the largest windmill trail in Europe. The study aims at checking the level of knowledge of the population in the Poznań area about this route and determining the level of their interest in historical mills, and, in consequence, the forecast of its development. Based on the questionnaire survey performed among people of the Poznań area in April of 2013, there is a clear interest in the mechanisms of operation of historical mills, which demonstrates an increase of popularity of industrial tourism. Nevertheless, the level of knowledge about the route is very low. Promotional elements to disseminate knowledge about the route are missing – things such as: guidebooks, tourist leaflets, or information boards. Further development is subject mainly to the popularity of the route and publicity among potential tourists. Knowledge disseminated in the form of lectures, cultural events, but mainly folders and guidebooks, is a key to success.

Historical windmills, their history and traditions related to the profession of millers, account for a significant element of the cultural heritage of Wielkopolska. Establishment of the Wielkopolska Windmill Trail is correlated to the protection of wooden mills and aims at protecting the memory of an abundant rural history. The several hundred years of traditional milling history is simultaneously a rich source of folktales and legends, as well as, the craftsmanship of carpentry and the development of technique. The Wielkopolska Windmill Trail, as presented herein, shows the new role historical facilities play in modern society. Some mills on the route are actually ruins which clearly show that it is just the beginning of a long and winding road leading to the ultimate objective, i.e. the protection of cultural heritage. It should be noted that at some point in history, Wielkopolska used to be referred to as a “land of mills” and was a milling district in Europe. Industrial tourism evokes an increasing interest. Thus, former windmills contribute to the development of tourist infrastructure, and they make a given region more attractive. Ruins of mills, however, need the tourists’ interest to survive and to retain their heritage. The local residents, on the other hand, need the tourists’ interest in their region to improve their living standards. Therefore, the Wielkopolska Windmill Trail may turn out to be the key to solving the problem of the deteriorating monuments of the grain processing industry. There is hope for a new life for these mills, whose wings have been worn down mercilessly by time, where they start rotating in the sky again.

100%
EN
The Rural Architecture Museum (MBL) in Sanok is a self-government cultural institution fulfilling scientific-research functions and collecting cultural property within the range of traditional folk and town culture, the crafts and rural industry. It organizes an open-air exposition of examples of traditional architecture, industry and other exhibits associated with the folk culture of the Sub-Carpathian region. The Ethnographic Park in Sanok, picturesquely situated on the right bank of the San at the foot of the Słonne Mts. is one of the most beautiful open-air museums in Europe. It was established in 1958 and due to the number of exhibits is the largest Skansen museum in Poland. The MBL in Sanok displays the culture of the Polish-Ru-thenian (Ukrainian) borderland in the eastern part of the Polish Carpathian Mts. (Bieszczady, Beskid Niski) together with the highlands. Particular ethnographic groups: the Bojko, Łemko, Pogórzanie and Dolinianie peoples are rep-resented by separate exposition sectors, well adapted to the lay of the land. Recreating typical configurations of a village and farmsteads the Museum collected about 150 examples of wooden architecture from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Next to residential, residential-utility and utility buildings the Park also includes sacral edifices: churches and several picturesque shrines, public utility buildings (a village school, an inn) and industrial buildings (a water mill, windmills and smithies). The Ethnographic Park features a magnificent permanent exhibition of icons – “The Carpathian icon”. A showroom 250 m2 large contains more than 200 icons (from the fifteenth to the twentieth century), illustrating the development of this genre in the Polish Carpathian Mts. The exhibits are supplemented with temporary shows organized upon the basis of the Museum’s own collections. The Museum is engaged in significant publication undertakings – it systematically issues “Materiały Muzeum Bu-downictwa Ludowego” and “Acta Scansenologica”. The Rural Architecture Museumpossesses a local branch – a wooden church in Ulucz some 20 km s from Sanok. Located on a steep mountain slope, on a site with natural defensive functions and surrounded with mounds, this is one of the oldest (1659) and most impressive monuments of Uniate architecture in Poland; the interior displays traces of seventeenth-century polychrome. The annual number of visitors touring the Ethnographic Park is the largest of all Skansen museums in Poland, and in 2012 totalled 143 224 persons.
