Summary/Abstract: Appropriate use of space helps to develop investments and the entire region more intensively. To determine the best use for land, its suitability for tourist purposes must be estimated. Land should have a variety of natural and cultural values, which together form the tourist attractions. The valorisation of nature examines elements of the landscape created by nature, while cultural valorisation analyses elements of the historical and cultural heritage. The aim of this paper was to carry out a natural and cultural valorisation of the municipality of Reszel for tourism development and to identify the best forms of tourism. In addition, a landscape evaluation with the experience curve method is presented. As a result, the municipality Reszel was divided into areas of variable suitability for tourism. Based on this research, places with tourism potential were selected and the route of a sightseeing path was proposed.
