:La Voie Verte Cracovie-Moravie-Vienne est une ancienne route qui s'appuie sur un réseau de pistes cyclables, de routes de randonnée, de chemins de hallage et autres chemins thématiques. La route principale de la voie verte est une piste cyclable de 780 km présentant les richesses historiques, naturelles et culturelles d'Europe centrale. A partir de Cracovie, en passant par la vallée de l'Oswiecim, la région de Pszczyna, l'itinéraire traverse les montagnes arborées de la chaîne des Beskydy, suit les vallées de l'Oder et de la Be?va, et après un passage par les vignobles de Moravie du Sud et d'Autriche il arrive à Vienne. Les partenaires et les populations locales participent aux replantage d'espèces locales d'arbres tout le long de l'itinéraire. A terme, la Voie Verte Cracovie-Moravie-Vienne deviendra la plus longue allée arborée d'Europe.

The region is rich in cultural, natural and historical destinations as some towns are included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, eg, Krakow, Oswiecim or Olomouc. Also many castles dot the route. The trail commences in the former royal Polish capital of Krakow which is the most picturesque and historic city in the country. Continues past the town of Oswiecim, better known as Auschwitz, the renowned NAZI concentration camp.
