Development of karst phenomena for geotourism in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic)
(2011) Migoń, Piotr
The Moravian Karst in the south-eastern part of the Czech Republic has considerable potential for the development of geotourism. It is characterized by outstanding geodiversity, revealed in abundant, surface and subterranean karst landforms, as well as protracted history of karst evolution which can be traced back to the Mesozoic. An additional value is provided by the presence of cultural heritage, related to exploitation and processing of mineral resources genetically linked to the karst environment. The significance of this area is further enhanced by easy access to karst landforms and phenomena. Five caves, each of different morphology, can be visited. A dense network of educational trails, marked paths, forestry and field-access roads allows the visitor to reach all interesting features of karst morphology.

According to the title, the main aim of this master thesis was to present aspects of geotourism in caves of The Cracow – Wieluń Upland. The area, where the caves are settled, is a common and touristic developed land. The karstification forms are clearly presented in this paper together with plans of the described objects. The stocktaking and documentation of the karstification forms has been done before. As a literature overview, this paper deals with history of documentation, paleontological and archeological researches, genesis, diversity of the karstification forms, specific microclimate, fauna and flora, as well as with the touristic developed area of: The Ciemna Cave, The Łokietka Cave, The Nietoperzowa Cave, The Smocza Jama Cave and The Wierzchowska Górna Cave.

Podziemne atrakcje geoturystyczne Gór Świętokrzyskich

A work about chosen underground geoturistic atraction Świętokrzyskie Mountains. It describes Raj Cave which is a form created on the natural way, also aboutKadzielnia which is the most popular place in the City of Kielce and it is natural reserve placed in the city centre and also about Krzemionki Opatowskie – a system of neonolit mines made by humans 4000 years ago. This work is trying to answer some questions of geouturistic future in this area, and what to do to save the natural character of this objects without stoping the touristic developement. The author of this work is also trying to explore the possible chances to make these objects more atractive for tourism.

Scientific documentation required during the exploration of caves and technical work carried out in tourist show caves - examples from central Poland
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Urban, Jan; Tyc, Andrzej; Kasza, Andrzej; Ślusarczyk, Marceli
The procedure of scientific documentation of caves explored and/or arranged for touristic use is proposed and recommended in this paper. This procedure has been verified on the basis of work done during the arrangement of the Underground Touristic Trail combining three caves in the Kadzielnia Park, city of Kielce, Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross) Mountains, and Jaskinia Głęboka (Deep Cave) in the »Góra Zborów« nature reserve, Kraków–Częstochowa Upland. The objective of the cave documentation is the preservation of scientific evidence of the geological history of karst systems and the region, which are recorded in sequences of cave sediments (including their physical, petrographic and mineralogical properties, palaeontological remains and archaeological artefacts), mineralogical and isotopic composition of speleothems and specific features of cave morphology. These elements are often totally or partially destroyed (i.e. removed, changed in shape) during cave exploration and/or any technical work carried out in tourist caves. This makes it necessary to document thier scientific study, which is also required by law. The procedure of such documentation and study proposed and verified in this paper include the photographic documentation of sediments and cave morphologies, sampling of sediments, as well as their basic petrographical-palaeontological analyses, which make it possible to plan exploration, technical work and further research.
