Together with fortress experts GKU Standortentwicklung GmbH initiates the European funded project “Baltic Culture and Tourism Route Fortresses”. A complex transnational cooperation for conservation, renovation, use of fortresses corresponding to monument preservation, development of infrastructure as well as the management organisation was started.
According to GKU concept worldwide 14 fortresses and 6 universities/ institutes from 4 countries develop a standardized Transnational Information System -TIS- for fortresses.
Additionally 3 competence and consulting centers for documentation, renovation technology and nature management in fortresses were established. Pilot and demonstration projects as well as practical courses for students in specialised fields will be realised. There is a high demand for knowledge and experiences worldwide.

Main goal is the development of a transnational tourism route in the Baltic Region named as “Baltic Fort Route” (BFR), to present the cultural heritage to an international broad audience. The fortresses shall be networked on an european level and the fortress management shall be promoted through the tourism.
4 pilot tours were developed, on which tourists can travel from Kostrzyn along the Baltic fortress route. Thats a first model for organised fortress tourism with requirements in culture, entertainment and information. Information for sample travels you can find here.
The coordinators Hartmut Röder (chief coordinator) and Dr. Hans-Rudolf Neumann (scientific coordinator) would like to inform you personally per telephone, fax or E-Mail. For further information have look at www.bfr.pl as well as in our publications about the project. We are always grateful for suggestions and hints.
