The primary goal of the project is to foster intergenerational collaboration and preserve elements of local heritage. We aim to showcase the significant sites in Błażowa, including the locations of important businesses, shops, and places of worship, particularly for the younger generation. We intend to revive the memory of these places while fostering connections between young people and seniors.
Additionally, we seek to promote values such as social awareness, respect for our historical and cultural heritage, and local traditions. By enriching the community’s understanding of our „little homeland,” we are addressing regional educational needs. Once completed, this project will enhance the educational and tourist offerings for both residents and visitors.
The first part of the walk starts at the former general store located at 52 3 Maja Street and concludes at the Błażowa church.
We have created a PDF map of Błażowa available in Polish and English. This map can be printed and folded into a guidebook:

We have also created a video guide to help you navigate locations on the map more easily:
