In the programme area of the Interreg Nord programme there are several hiking trails. Many trails go through national parks, nature reserves or other types of protected areas. Even though this area is largely perceived as untouched wilderness people have lived here for almost 10 000 years. This human presence has left traces that can tell us about the history of area and deepen the experience of hiking in this cultural landscape. To develop methods for localizing cultural remains and make them accessible for entrepreneurs and the general public makes it possible for entrepreneurs to offer a wider range of products to their clients and new experiences to the users of the hiking trails. The project will work with three hiking trails, Kunsleden (within the municipality of Sorsele, sweden), Vindelvaggileden between Ammarnäs in Sweden and Krokstrand in Norway and finally the trail Nordlandsruta (between Harvassdalen and Saltfjellet in Norway). These are saami areas and a lage part of the cultural landscape and the cultural traces will tell of saami history. Partners in the project are Västerbotten¿s museum in Sweden, Nord university, Helgeland museum, Salten friluftsråd and Sijti Jarnge, all in Norway. The project time will be close to two years. The vision of the project is that in five to ten years, the cultural landscape and the cultural traces close to hiking trails in the programme area are used to a larger extent then today as a resource that has given entrepreneurs possibilities to create new products. The users of the hiking trails will also have more knowledge about the area¿s cultural history and a possibility to experience the cultural landscape/cultural traces around the trails in a deeper way. To reach that the project will organize cross border workshops for entrepreneurs in tourism from Sweden and Norway together with the project¿s partners. There will also be open workshops for the public. Methods to help localizing cultural traces in the surroundings of the hiking trails with the help of modern technique will be developed. A book/booklet will be produced that shows how the cultural landscape and cultural traces can be used by entrepreneurs as a resource in their business. Detailed information about selected parts of the cultural landscape and cultural traces will be made that can be used both by entrepreneurs and the public using the hiking trails.
