description The article presents the elements of multiculturalism of the Spiš area in the 19th century, which falls under the contemporary definition of a borderland: life at the intersection of cultures with an interactive character. This was demonstrated using Ludwik Pietrusiński’s description of a travel through Galicia to the Kingdom of Hungary, contained in the fourth volume of the series Podróże, przejazdki i przechadzki po Europie (Travels, Trips and Walks Around Europe, 1844), and Teodor Tripplin’s travel novel Wycieczki po stokach galicyjskich i węgierskich Tatrów (Excursions on the Slopes of the Galician and Hungarian Tatras, 1848). Both texts are interpreted using the category of borderland—emphasizing distinctiveness and differences while drawing attention to the network of cultural relations and transgressions, as well as the identity issues of the local population. Three areas of research are considered: language and other identity-building elements, stereotypes about specific ethnic groups, and the impact of contact with foreign culture on the locals’ everyday life. Pietrusiński highlights the mutual influences of the local languages, since locals used different dialects, orthographies, and pronunciations, often creating their own linguistic forms. Tripplin, on the other hand, addresses the theme of life in an area “without borders,” in a place of free cultural exchange due to the proximity of different values and beliefs, which seemed natural to the inhabitants at the time. The aim of the article is to identify the multicultural ethnolinguistic threads that are still evident in this area today, thereby also expanding the broader historical and cultural analysis of the formation of today’s Tatra Euroregion.
