This article has turned its attention to the marking of borders and the way this acts in support of the tourism-related objectives now seen to represent a novel function served by borders. Specifically, results are presented here in relation to the marking and delimitation of borders of Poland both past and present. The most in-depth analysis was then based around four case studies, i.e. one for each of the following identified periods in existence of given borders in operation at one time or another on the Polish lands. The research sustained several key conclusions, in line with which it has been worth stressing that each of the examples or aspects of border marking serves, not only as a factual tourist attraction, but also as a significant message conveyed. And what is being passed on in that way can be seen to have 3 key thrusts, i.e.: events from history, meaning old divisions (but also the loss of independence due to the Partitions of Poland, and its regaining, as well as the remembrance of heroes, changes to the lines followed by borders, and the associated regaining of land in the west, extending as far as the River Oder); local conditioning and the symbolic significance attachable to the most important border markings.}, type={Text}, title={Turystyczne wykorzystanie oznaczeń granic w Polsce = Tourist use of border markers in Poland}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/235642/WA51_272234_r2022-t94-z2_Przeg-Geogr-Wieckows.pdf}, keywords={Geography}, }
