The concept of the Melno educational–recreational trail is based on the goal of preserving and updating the section of the border of the Peace Treaty of Melno. This involves sustainably using the elements of the existing infrastructure (the existing road, etc.), reconstructing them, and supplementing them with two additional levels.
First, an educational tour with interactive information stands, which would convey different sub-themes of the Peace Treaty of Melno.
Second, a recreational path, prepared parallel to the existing road towards the sea, as an improvised version of the Kneipp path, where the experiential part would be supplemented with elements based on historical analogies, such as artificial ravines with water and/or mud as analogs of wood flooring and cobblestone.
