Currently, the Pauline Trail is already operating in two provinces: Silesia and Lesser Poland. Talks have also been initiated with the Marshals of the Mazovian and Lublin provinces so that it could be expanded to include additional sites. The plan is to include, first of all, other places related to the existence and spirituality of the Pauline Order in Poland, and later also in Slovakia and Hungary – all the way to Croatia.

The Pauline Trail route is available for both pedestrians and cyclists – avoiding roads with heavy traffic, appropriate surface and inclination. It includes religious objects and places attractive in terms of history, culture or nature. There are also many peaceful – conducive to pilgrimage, contemplation and reflection – parts of the Trail.
