Abstract
Zwierzyniec landscape was shaped by various factors over the centuries. Today’s name derives from so called ‘zwierzyniec’ — a hunting settlement set up here by Jan Zamoyski. During the industrial epoch Zwierzyniec reminded a garden city modelled on Howard’s concept. At the beginning of the twentieth century Zwierzyniec experienced a period of decline, which resulted in the degradation of the orderly landscape. Through a specific relationship between man and nature a unique cultural landscape has been created. Nowadays Zwierzyniec is being revitalized. It is crucial to incorporate appropriate policies concerning the landscape and its history into a local development strategy. In the longer term it will cause an enhancement of tourist virtues, especially when it comes to cultural heritage tourism.
