Abstract
The most popular means for environmental interpretation in the Czech Republic are learning trails. Other than the common type of trails focusing on transmitting information about a place in a written or picture format, a new form of trail offering participants various experiential activities with the aim of motivating them to learn has begun to appear.
The paper presents the results of a mixed evaluation comparing two pairs of “traditional” and “experiential ” learning trails in the Liberec region. The monitored experiential trails were more attractive for visitors, but the amount of knowledge retained about the locality was comparable to the traditional trails.
