Geodziedzictwo obszarów chronionych, ich ochrona i promocja turystyczna na przykładzie Parku Narodowego Gór Stołowych w świetle analizy dokumentów
Geoheritage of protected areas, their protection and tourist promotion on the example of the Stołowe Mountains National Park – the document analysis

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the main assumptions for the protection of objects and features of inanimate natural value in protected areas – attractions that may constitute the basis for developing geotourism in a region, on the example of the Stołowe Mountains National Park. Geo-touristic potential was presented based on the analysis of official legal documents devel-oped for the protection of the Park. These were: the draft plan for the protection of PNGS and the Park’s 2014–22 protection tasks de-signed to determine the threats related to tour-ism development, as well as the Park’s official website. Geotouristic resources were presented in documents, and their selection is a practical expression of the tourism development policy in the protected area. The method of presentation was also analysed. The Stołowe Mountains National Park is located in the Stołowe Mountains, which are part of the Central Sudetes. Its geotouristic at-tractiveness is determined by its unique relief, which reflects its geological structure. Most of the mountains, built of sedimentary rocks, are examples of structural relief. It is the only ex-ample of slab relief in Poland. The area is protected by the Nature Conservation Act of 16 April 2004. The Act requires that a nature conservation plan be developed according to which specific natural resources, including in-animate ones, should be protected.
