Rozwój turystyki w obiektach historyczno-militarnych na przykładzie Twierdzy w Srebrnej Górze

Development of tourism in historical-military objects - example of the Silver Mountain Fort

Summary: One of unconventional forms of tourism, which has been attracting more and more followers in recent years, is travelling to historical complexes once used for military purposes. Poland is a kind of open-air defense structure unique in the world, with an extensive and varied architectural buildings, which represent the highest level of military art (?Jędrysiak, von Rohrscheidt 2011?). Taking issues of military tourism into consideration, one should observe that this section of tourism has different forms of expression and, depending on them, different scopes can be identified. It was defined narrowly by A.j Kowalczyk (?2008?) as dark tourism, or war tourism, which are in some respects close in form to cultural tourism, or "?battlefield tourism, which is one of the forms of tourism located in the so-called grief tourism?" (?Jędrysiak, von Rohrscheidt 2011?). However, "?historical-military tourism?" includes a much wider range of motivations and behaviors of tourists, than those recalled in "grief tourism?". The concept of historical-military tourism should be understood as forms of tourism associated with frequenting former and current military installations, battlefield, museums devoted to the history of military science, outstanding commanders, military techniques from the past etc., other places connected with past and current military events, as well as participation (?active and passive?) in staging historic events, referring to the history of wars and military science, team games etc. (?Kowalczyk 2009?). Fortresses located on the Polish territory are an important part of the cultural landscape of our country, however, apart from a few exceptions, mostly destroyed and neglected. That is why in this study I would like to focus on the issues of development of tourism in the Silver Mountain Fortress and its surroundings.
