The Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes was established in 2010 in order to financially and politically support the Cultural Routes programme. There are currently 11 certified cultural routes passing through Czechia including European Mozart Ways, European Route of Jewish Heritage, European Route of Historic Thermal Towns, European Route of Industrial Heritage, Iron Curtain Trail, Liberation Route Europe and many more. The Cyril and Methodius Route was the last one to receive certification in 2021.
