Tourism Activation in Lanckorona Countrytown, According
to Listed the Neighbourghing Town Kalwaria
Zebrzydowska in World Heritage List
There was the day Dec. 1-st 1999 when The World Heritage Commitee decided in consensus that town Kalwaria Zebrzydowska in Southern Poland is to be listed as World Heritage Monument. The focus of listed area is landscape system of so called 'pilgrimage paths' designed in the beginning of 17-th C. The listed area contains also neighbouring Lanckorona country-town, the ruins of medieval castle on the top of a hill, hence the whole littlle town Lanckorona is treated as a secondary protected area.
The period after the WW II had been drammatic for this country town. It is almost ruined in the results of poverty of inhabitants, lack of proper organisation of tourism, which results in stagnations of individual hotel small-bussines. There were some lobbies supporting the town and its people after the war, the result was some little material support for few reparations. In the 60. and 70. in XX C. conservation officers intended to help Lanckorona again, but the results occured rather poor.
Now, as the result of stronger and stronger tourism movement in Lanckorona, following World Heritage List indication, there is an opening for economic activation. There is a real potential both for tourists and pilgrims, as well for Cracow inhabitants, who intend to settle in Lanckorona
