The potential of the Sudetes Mountains for the Development of Geotouristic products.

Abstract

The Sudetes Mts. have a large potential where geotourism can develop, because of their most diverse geological structure and landforms in Poland. It is essential to perform a complete diagnosis of the geotouristic potential within this region. Up until now, different kinds of activities were developed in this region associated with geotourism, such as the establishment of associations, creation of educational footpaths, thematic maps, flyers, educational centers and a geopark. The aim of this paper is to present the potential of the Sudetes Mountains as geotouristic products. “First-rate” regions can be distinguished with defined offers. Thanks to these offers, a trans-border geotourist product network can be created.
