Interpretive programme
The interpretation programme is the top priority
of the route thus it should be very carefully pre-
pared with the participation of all the organisa-
tions involved, who, in turn, are responsible to
collect updated data and material, based both on
local and international scholarly research as well
as through oral sources. The information provi-
ded in each marked point of the route should be
clearly linked to those of other routes. The inter-
pretive techniques would include both, traditio-
nal material technique – possibly used with the
presence and use of stone – and advanced ICT
technologies, the latter especially in places whe-
re interpretive infrastructure could obstruct the
significance of the place.

In each selected location of the route, a key
local itinerary, as a “branch” of the major route
would be described, including the presentation
of all related points of interest, buildings, open
spaces, natural sites and quarries. All of them
would be gathered in a map, which in turn again
would be a part of the wholesome map of the
route.
