Geoheritage Endangered by Erosion: Examples from the Prachov Area
Original language description
The paper researches the erosion of sandstone rocks through the lens of geology and geography of tourism. It examines natural erosion, erosion caused by non-tourism human activities, especially tourism-induced erosion. Erosion disrupts sandstone formations and decreases the attractivity of an affected geosite. Concretely, the paper focuses on the Prachov Rocks, one of the most visited zones in Bohemian Paradise, famous for its sandstone towers. The core of the Prachov Rocks, the Rock City, has paid entry and several information boards with tourist instructions. Nevertheless, they do not prevent further tourism-induced unintentional or intentional damage. Another source of erosion is non-tourist economic activities in the area. The paper presents the basic theoretical framework of the geology of the studied area and damage to geosites. It also brings connected innovative typologies. The authors strive to identify the most endangered landforms and shapes within the Rock City through field research and explain the mechanism of their damage. Field research also encompasses measurements of sandstone erosion and shifts. The photographic, map and table additions amend the text.
