Sažetak
Isolated elements of karstic heritage are usually stored and presented in the natural history museums and collections. However, integral karstic phenomena in their original environment can be preserved and presented only in nature (in situ). Geological educational trails in Biokovo Nature Park and Učka Nature Park in Croatia are examples of this approach. On this site visitors can touch and feel karst phenomena in direct contact with the environment. Through educational boards they learn how to appreciate the significance and value of karst phenomena, which is a first step towards the successful protection. Presented effect of chemical weathering of carbonate rocks are karren, kamenitzas, limestone column, dolines, shafts and caves. Such “ open exhibition” of karst phenomena also enriches the tourist offer.
