Pogórzanie - U Karpackich Bram refers to the population living in the area between San and Dunajec, cut by the valleys of the rivers: Wisłoka, Wisłok, Ropa and Biała.

The theme of the tour is to show the cultural landscape of the Carpathian Foothills in the context of changes and changes over the centuries: from the history of rural medieval wooden churches, towns to which villagers migrated in search of a better life, industrial development and marginalization of the role of the village, to the revival of folk culture and the search for new forms of its presentation and expression.
