Greenways are pathways of environmental and cultural heritage leading along rivers, historical trade routes, natural environmental corridors and railways. Greenways create frameworks for implementation of local social initiatives and projects connected with protection of environment and landscape, keeping the cultural heritage, eco-friendly tourism and sustainable transport. Greenways respond to the need of the inhabitants and tourists, and give positive input to reviving local economy.  Thanks to Greenways eco-friendly tourism and sustainable development connect with environment and cultural heritage protection.
