It analyses the main historic and cultural reasons of appearing monuments on this territory, the distribution of these monuments among administrative units (rayons and poviats) with their representation on a diagram. The diagram was based on Ukraine and Polish Lists of Monuments. The article also studies the structure of the historic and cultural resources: the stationary monuments of history, architecture, city-planning, reserved castles and objects of lanscape gardening art etc.  Among all the resources it descripes monuments and architectural complexes on the UNESCO List. Also, it analyses the tourist itineraries functioning on the territory of the Ukrainian and Polish borderland. Main itineraries were taken from the tourist maps of Lviv, Volyn, Lubelskie and Podkarpackie regions. Also it proposes several new cross-border itineraries, which can potentially satisfy the  demand on meaningful rest and generating tangible revenues on this territory.  

Based on results of the research the following conclusions have been made: Ukrsinian-Polish border area is reach in historical and cultural resources, but they are not popularized enough; The territory of investigation has many attractive tourist routs, which can satisfy different requirements, but they also need to be promoted.
