Educational trails are hiking trails of various length and difficulty, running through locations with natural, historical or regional attractions, and intended primarily for learning about the local particularities. They are usually marked in the terrain as well as in the maps for tourists, and they often run parallel with hiking trails, with small detours to interesting locations. There are usually interesting places marked on the trails, which include panels where the trail visitors can learn interesting facts about the location. The main purpose of educational trials is that the visitors confront the theoretical knowledge from the educational panels with the reality of the location.
