Abstract
The objective of the article is to present the results of research on the possibility of using selected archaeological sites for tourism purposes in order to expand the tourist offer of the Barycz Valley region. The analysis was conducted only for the section of the river running within the borders of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship because tourism development is linked to local government institutions and the structures of available information. The work was carried out using secondary and primary data. Using the research desk method, sources from the field of archaeology (including publications of excavation results) and tourism geography (including analyses of tourism development strategies) were used, and then field research was conducted to supplement the previously obtained information. As a result of the work, several dozen sites were analyzed and finally 11 of them were selected, based on which a proposal to create an archaeological trail along the existing kayak route on the Barycz River was presented.
