We invite you to follow the effects of joint work of the partners from Poland, Belarus, Ukraine within the PL-BY-UA Programme, made possible thanks to co-funding from the European Union.

The micro-project ‘Sounds of Nature. SlowRivers - practical package for tourists’ (acronym SlowRivers) is a response to the need to develop tourism using the potential of two rivers of Polish-Ukrainian borderland. The picturesque San and Strwiąż rivers flow through diverse areas abundant in charming landscapes and represent a great tourist potential, which is being intensively promoted thanks to the project activities.

A general description of the SlowRivers project can be found under the ‘Projects’ tab.
