The author points out – using as an example the views of Mariusz Zaruski, Polish mariner and mountaineer from the turn of the nineteenth century – that reflexive and philosophizing wanderers, roaming around various outdoor tracks, perceive nature in its threefold connections with sacrum, namely in its religious, para-religious and non-religious relations with it. They come to such a viewpoint by axiologization, which consists in ascribing various values to cognized nature. The above-mentioned values originate from spontaneous and thought-out actions from the areas of aestheticization and sacralization, including the properties of pantheism, panentheism, theopanthism, transcendentality and transcendence, hylozoism and animism of panpsychic and panorganic character.The presented view of tourism-related issues, which were implicitly and explicitly touched on by Zaruski, may give the impression that his humanist reflections on nature – and especially regarding mountains and the sea – are, although non-professional, relatively sophisticated and modern. However, the reality is quite different. Zaruski refers to the simplest assumptions that are characteristic of the Hellenistic philosophy of nature, for instance Pythagorean harmony and the Heraclitean view of the world, as well as the hylozoism or animism of the Ionic philosophers of nature. From the contemporary point of view, Zaruski’s philosophy obviously stems from superficial empirical cognition – perceptions and observations of nature – from the simplest explanations of inductive and intuitive character
