Koncepcja projektu: »Geostrada Sudecka - studium geologiczno-krajobrazowe z inwentaryzacją obiektów dziedzictwa przyrody nieożywionej«

The aim of the paper is presentation of geological and landscape studies with the inventarization of abiotic nature objects located along proposed trail »The Leszek Sawicki Sudetic Geostrada«. Through detailed descriptions of the trail and proposals of development of selected, most attractive geosites of geological-mining heritage, the project should aim to spread geological knowledge of the Sudety Mts. among the non-professionals. Using the passable roads, the trail was led along the main ridges of the Sudety Mts. in both the Polish and the Czech parts, through less popular and rarely visited but also interesting parts of the Sudety Mts. and their foreland. Polish parts of the Geostrada (ca 285 km) were such determined to reach as much the most attractive geosites as possible in the 10-kilometers-wide zone ($\pm$ 5 km from both sides of the trail).

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.

The aim of the paper is presentation of a geological and landscape studies with inventarization of the objects of abiotic nature heritage located along the central part of proposed trail »The Leszek Sawicki Sudetic Geostrada«. The Central Sudetic Geostrada extends from the Kowary Pass in the west to the Płoszczyna Pass near Stronie Śląskie in the east. Total length of this sector of Geostrada is about 200 km, in which about 60 km in the Czech Republic. The principle is to run the trail in such a manner that attractive geosites and other interesting tourist destinations fall into the 10-kilometers-wide zone ($\pm$ 5 km zone from both sides of the road). First of all, these are groups of sandstone monadnocks in the Table Mts., but also numerous geosites close to Lądek Zdrój: caves, including the famous »Bear Cave«, mineral waters, gneiss tors, the famous waterfall on the Wilczka River, numerous marble and basalt quarries and relics of old mining camps.

The Eastern Sudetic Geostrada (Geotrail) constitutes only a small, eastermost fragment of the whole »Sudetic Geostrada« tourist trail project. Hence, the number of geosites selected along the trail is rather limited. The westernmost site is the famous Sławniowice quarry. Here, in 16 active and inactive pits the Precambrian marbles and accompanying rocks (mica schists, amphibolites and pegmatites) have been quarried since the XIIIth century. Stones extracted there are well-known in Poland and in Germany, usually as facings. However, the most intrising part of the Eastern Sudetic Geostrada is the vicinity of Głuchołazy. In the town itself and in the valley of the Biała Głuchołaska River as well as in the adjacent Jeseniki and Zlaté Hory mountains in the Czech Republic gold has been mined from alluvial deposits as well as from quartz and quartz-feldspar lodes. The relics of this mining operations are numerous adits and shafts, which can be recently seen along the promenade accompanying the Biała Głuchołaska River bank. Other sites attractive for the Earth-science enthusiasts are: granitoids of the Strzelin-Žulova Massif in Jarnołtów, Precambrian marbles in Gierałcice and biotitic schists in Burgrabice. The last site in the Polish sector of the Eastern Sudetic Geostrada is the operating slate quarry in Jarnołtówek where phyllitic schists are extracted and used as roof tiles.
