Summary/Abstract: The scientific report aims to examine the cultural routes as an opportunity to guarantee the cultural integrity and the sustainable development of the regions. The attention is focused on cultural routes as an expression of the mutual enrichment of different cultures. A new model for preserving cultural values as a shared resource without borders is presented. Special emphasis is placed on the European Cultural Routes Initiative, launched jointly by the European Commission and the Council of Europe. Cultural routes are analyzed as an important resource for sustainable social and economic development. The author defends the thesis that cultural routes encourage many initiatives for the development of sustainable tourism products and the improvement of cultural heritage policies.
