Cave tourism (speleotourism) is very popular all over the world within the broader category of geotourism. Slovakia is also well‑known for its karst areas and caves, but most of them are not freely open to the public. This paper presents how to make a cave “accessible” without physically entering it. This can be facilitated through the use of digital 3D models. Visitors are then able to experience cave tours through 3D projections and 3D cinema. This would allow people with disabilities and those with claustrophobia to enjoy caving. An added advantage is that the cave environment remains untouched. This paper provides a comprehensive scan of the Bear Cave using Leica ScanStation C10 terrestrial laser scanner. During the 3D modelling of the Bear Cave, Trimble RealWorks software was used to process and analyze the large data sets recorded by the scanner. As a result, not only were visualizations and images of 3D models from the cave obtained, but also a 3D animation was made using the Bentley Pointools software. The information included in this paper has been compiled from all phases of the measuring and data processing of the Bear Cave.

Abstract. The submitted contribution describes the regional extraction of the natural zeolite around Vranov nad Topľou (Košice´ region). Zeolite is mined here for quarries Nižný Hrabovec, Majerovce, Kučín and Pusté Čemerné. The zeolite is mined by private companies and processed into different fractions (according to requirements and application areas of use in the economy). There is a degree of air, soil and ground water pollution around the quarries. In the contribution attention is paid not only to pollution as such but also to the overall state of the landscape load, level of remediation and reclamation. Mining and treatment of extracted material requires certain measures to protect and preserve the surrounding natural environment. Post therefore also refers to the level of pollution and damage to the country and the prospects for its sustainability until 2050.

The main aim of this article is to propose a model of an integrated geothermal spa resort and its allocation using multi-criteria decision making. Proposal for allocation of mentioned spa resort is defined on the basis of the evaluation criteria.
