Today, the knowledge and experience of geologists play a key role in protecting the environment. Our goal is to foster environmental awareness – especially among the younger generation – through engaging publications and maps about the past, present, and future of our planet.

Part of this effort is a series of educational geological maps. Their purpose is to illustrate the geological structure, natural formations, tourist attractions, and the interrelationships within both the living and non-living natural environments of individual regions of Slovakia.

🌟 The main benefits of geological educational maps:

  • 🗺️ Tourism development: Support for regional tourism and the growing field of geotourism.

  • 🧠 Raising Awareness: Increasing residents’ general knowledge of the geological structure of their region.

  • 📢 Popularizing science: They serve promotional, educational, and awareness-raising purposes.

  • 🏫 Resources for Schools: Ideal teaching aids for elementary and secondary schools for hands-on science lessons, field trips, and excursions.
