Abstract

The Karkonosze Mountains (Giant Mts.) are a famous tourist region in the Sudety Mountains. One reason for this popularity is the geovalues connected with geotourism - which is a new form of tourism. The aim of this study is to assess the tourist attractiveness of 52 geosites in the Karkonosze Geopark. The assessment was done by using criteria of four other methods. The geosites of the Karkonosze Mountains are divided into four groups: most attractive, attractive, averagely attractive and not very attractive. Through this grouping a typology classification of the geosites was created. The results should lead to better management of geotourism in the Karkonosze Mountains.(original abstract)
