Actions planned for realization will contribute to preservation and safeguarding of historical and cultural heritage. The result of the project’s realisation will be, among others, the Virtual Trail around Wooden Monuments of the Archdiocese of Gniezno and a mobile tourist guidebook in the form of an application.
