Interpretation of geological heritage on nature trails and geotrails in Geopark Banská Štiavnica and their online information availability

of Banská Štiavnica (Slovakia) and the unique geological and
morphological heritage offers significant potential for the
development of geotourism and educational trails, thus presenting the
heritage to a wide spectrum of visitors. In recent years, online
availability of information about such trails has become very
important for the digital society that uses the internet and social
networks daily. This article focuses on the development and online
information availability of geotrails located in the territory of the first
Slovak geopark, Banská Štiavnica Geopark. Results show that there
are very few geoscience-based trails with limited online information
available. By investing in effective on-site heritage interpretation and
proper online promotion, the territory can become a premier
geotourism destination.
