Five areas in Central Europe, each hosting abundant geological evidence of Carboniferous to Permian volcanic activity, are analysed in terms of their volcanism-related geoheritage and opportunities to develop geotourist product. One area is located in the eastern part of Germany (Geopark Porphyrland), two in northern Czechia (Bohemian Paradise, Broumovsko) and two in south-west Poland (Wałbrzych region, Land of Extinct Volcanoes). Four main geoheritage themes are identified: geology and palaeovolcanology, mineralogy, geomorphology, and heritage stone resources. Each of the regions considered in the paper may be characterized by its core geoheritage theme and secondary themes, less evidently exposed. These themes are optimal foundations to develop geo-interpretation and geotourism. Challenges include difficulties in relating rock record to long eroded volcanic landforms, provision of adequate solutions for mineral collectors and proper conservation of quarries which offer best insights into the history of volcanic processes from c 300 Ma ago.

中欧晚古生代火山活动—地质特征及其在地质旅游中的应用

分析了中欧的五个地区，每个地区都拥有丰富的石炭纪至二叠纪火山活动的地质证据，并根据其与火山活动有关的地质遗产和开发地质旅游产品的机会进行了分析。一个地区位于德国东部（Peophyrland地质公园），两个位于德意志北部（波西米亚天堂，布劳莫夫斯科），两个位于波兰西南部（Wałbrzych地区，绝种火山土地）。确定了四个主要的地质遗产主题：地质和古火山学，矿物学，地貌学和遗产石资源。本文考虑的每个区域都可能以其核心地理遗产主题和次要主题为特征，但不太明显。这些主题是发展地理解释和地质旅游的最佳基础。
