Post-war investments, rapid development of industry and demographic changes contributed to the strong urbanization of medium and small European cities. Migrations broke inhabitants ties with their places of residence. Over the years, stories and legends about former residents and many local traditions have been forgotten. There are few traces left in the street names, urban systems and architectural details. Currently, they are readable only for trained eyes. Proper exposure of intangible heritage can contribute to change of the image of the city and support economical development. Selected cultural trails projects prepared by students of Landscape Architecture at the University of Rzeszów present various opportunities of discovering and feeling the city - its climate and characteristics, that are hidden in its intangible dimension. Cultural trail as a specific travel offer, allows to uncover the character and mysteries of seemingly ordinary places. This is important for the development of tourism, as well as strengthening of local awareness.
