    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Łodziński, Marek; Mayer, Wojciech; Stefaniuk, Michał; Bartuś, Tomasz; Mastej, Wojciech
    The paper presents selected results of the »Western Sudetic Geostrada« - a project, currently in preparation, which merges geosites, biotic nature objects, historical monuments and tourist infrastructure into a coherent tourist trail. The trail avoids main roads and famous tourist centers, leading to the less known parts of the Western Sudety Mts. and their foreland. Precisely, the »Western Sudetic Geostrada« runs around the main range of the Isera Mountains, surrounds from the north the Karkonosze Range and the Jelenia Góra Trough, and heads through the eastern and southern part of the Rudawy Janowickie Range. From geological point of view the trail runs through the exposed part of the exhumed metamorphic envelope the Karkonosze granite intrusion rich in numerous deposits and occurrences of ore mineralization. The selected geomorphological and geological objects and regions were described in details along with the relics of past mining operations and their tourist attractiveness were evaluated. Some especially attractive objects i.e. geomorphological forms, outcrops of interesting lithologic complexes, tectonic structures and remnants of past ore mining (tin mining in Krobica-Kotlina-Gierczyn-Przecznica area and uranium mining in Kowary) were described in details.
