“…The key reasons for their presence are lithological and structural, particularly the juxtaposition of massive and strong volcanic rocks in the upper slope with much weaker sedimentary formations in the lower slope. This variety of mass movements in the area has been extensively documented elsewhere and the key localities include Rogowiec, Suchawa and Lesista Wielka (e.g., Migoń et al 2010Kasprzak et al 2016Kasprzak et al , 2019. Landslide terrains are associated with a number of minor distinctive features of interest, such as tall rock cliffs, scree slopes, boulder streams from rock avalanches and open clefts (Fig.…”

Five areas in Central Europe, each hosting abundant geological evidence of Carboniferous to Permian volcanic activity, are analysed in terms of their volcanism-related geoheritage and opportunities to develop geotourist product. One area is located in the eastern part of Germany (Geopark Porphyrland), two in northern Czechia (Bohemian Paradise, Broumovsko) and two in south-west Poland (Wałbrzych region, Land of Extinct Volcanoes). Four main geoheritage themes are identified: geology and palaeovolcanology, mineralogy, geomorphology, and heritage stone resources. Each of the regions considered in the paper may be characterized by its core geoheritage theme and secondary themes, less evidently exposed. These themes are optimal foundations to develop geo-interpretation and geotourism. Challenges include difficulties in relating rock record to long eroded volcanic landforms, provision of adequate solutions for mineral collectors and proper conservation of quarries which offer best insights into the history of volcanic processes from c 300 Ma ago.

“…They are distinguished by a dynamic landforms related to Permian volcanic activity and numerous landslides which, however, are hardly visible from the track, or at least not at a scale that would allow a straightforward discussion of their origin (cf. Kacprzak et al 2013;Kasprzak et al 2016;Kasprzak and Traczyk 2012;Migoń et al 2010Migoń et al , 2016Migoń, Jancewicz and Kasprzak 2014;Migoń, Kacprzak et al 2014;Synowiec 2003). One can only partially see the location of a landslide on the north western slope of Stożek Wielki, while the rest are located quite far away.…”

A view is often more than just a piece of landscape, framed by the gaze and evoking emotion. Without diminishing these obvious ‘tourism-important’ advantages of a view, it is noteworthy that in itself it might play the role of an interpretative tool, especially for large-scale phenomena, the knowledge and understanding of which is the goal of geotourism. In this paper, we analyze the importance of scenic drives and trails for tourism, particularly geotourism, focusing on their ability to create conditions for experiencing the dynamically changing landscapes in which lies knowledge of the natural processes shaping the Earth’s surface and the methods and degree of its resource exploitation. The issues are found in both wider and local contexts. A more detailed insight has been conducted on the basis of two, although in some sense peripheral, tourism regions from the Sudeten Mountains (southwestern Poland): Lasocki Grzbiet (a ridge) and Pasmo Lesistej (a small range). The subjects of the investigation were complex: the geotourism potential of selected viewpoints located on the most scenic routes (mostly paths and forest tracks) as well as the problems of maintenance, conservation, and protection of their educational value. Our work is based on desk and field research supported by results of GIS visibility analyses (conducted in the QGIS program).
