The subject presents the series of cultural landscapes of the Hârtibaciu Valley that are attractive for tourism purposes. The cultural landscapes are not only considered to be a compound effect of the interaction of the natural and anthropic components, but also as an element of the environment, being in a continuous metamorphosis. Using a classification of the cultural landscapes, from the genetic point of view, the different landscapes found in the field are listed: cultural landscapes resulted from productive activities, habitational landscapes, technogenic landscapes, historical landscapes, sacred landscapes, symbolic landscapes, commemorative landscapes, residual landscapes. For each category of landscapes the tourism attractiveness and representativeness will be mentioned. The foreseen evolution of the cultural landscapes in the Hârtibaciu Valley is one of falling in decline. The prevention of this situation could be realized by using its tourism potential to its maximum and by a proactive tourism promotion and development.
