STONE IN AN URBAN SPACE – ITS POTENTIAL TO PROMOTE GEOTOURISM
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2019, Vol 26, Issue 3
Abstract
The geological heritage of Pruszków, although with an easy access, remains beyond the knowledge and consciousness of its inhabitants. Besides the short description of the area’s geodiversity, the article presents ten large erratic boulders and other stone elements occurring in the town. It is indicated that they have high scientific, educational, cultural-historical, and – not less important – aesthetic values. The promotion of these values can stimulate the development of urban geotourism. Geoconservation activities can contribute to the creating the image of the town, in which the principles of sustainable development are taken into account.
