Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the problems of the location of the wind farms in close neighbourhood to the historical cities, and the ways to minimize the potential landscape threats. The production of clean energy is obligatory in EU. In spite of how positive to the environment the wind energy production is, it may cause negative effects. The results of landscape studies of two towns in Poland prove that the location of such big constructions should be in some cases restricted. The crucial conclusion relates to the need for prediction of landscape threats, using the Environmental Impact Assessment procedure. The long-term, cumulative and irreversible landscape impacts have to be described, to precise effective mitigation measures. This is the only way to protect the unique character and touristic potential of historical cities and of the valuable historical landscapes.
