The article features information about studies of the adaptive reuse of heritage sites for the purposes of stimulating tourist traffic in a specific region. The author discusses the problems associated with establishing architectural heritage trails in Poland. As practice has shown, employing a method of increasing their attractiveness neither provides tourists with proper access (both mental and physical) to it, nor does it generate any active engagement of the local population in its protection. Despite the fact that such trails have been operating in Poland for quite some time, they do not generate the expected socio-economic improvement in the situation of both individuals and the heritage sites that comprise the cultural landscape of the region. There is a lack of measures oriented towards changes in the presentation of the values of this landscape that are being interpreted and that are so essential to the modern philosophy of heritage protection. The problem has been discussed primarily on the example of the Timber Architecture Trail in Lesser Poland. Elements of this trail include 4 timber churches that have been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites List. The valorisation of this heritage space is being performed by different specialists. However, their goals diverge sometimes. An interdisciplinary approach to this problem provides an opportunity to formulate a conciliatory model of the adaptive reuse of heritage sites that comprise a cultural trail and to highlight the active and performative presentation of the cultural landscape's heritage values.
