“Digital Journey Through the Muskau Arch Geopark” — promoting geotourism in the digital dimension
Date: 19.05.2026
Modern science is increasingly moving beyond laboratories and lecture halls. At the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of Wrocław University of Science and Technology, technology, passion, and creativity come together to create solutions that transform the way we explore and experience the world around us.
During the GEOpark May Festival in Łęknica, representatives of the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformatics presented the project “A Digital Journey through the Muskau Arch Geopark” — an initiative demonstrating how modern digital technologies can support the development of geotourism, education, and science communication.
Science That Inspires and Engages
The event became a meeting point between science and practice, as well as technology and the exploration of geological heritage. Participants discovered that contemporary geodesy and geoinformatics go far beyond traditional surveying — they are rapidly evolving fields that utilize interactive digital tools, spatial analysis, and advanced data visualization technologies.
The program included:
presentations of innovative digital geotourism solutions,
interactive games and educational activities,
demonstrations of geoinformation technologies used in the popularization of Earth sciences,
activities showing how digital tools can support the protection and promotion of natural heritage.
The great interest shown by visitors, along with numerous conversations and questions, confirmed that geodesy and geoinformatics are playing an increasingly important role in shaping modern, accessible, and engaging education for the future.
The Digital Future of Earth Sciences
The project “A Digital Journey through the Muskau Arch Geopark” is an example of a modern approach to science and international cooperation, combining scientific research, new technologies, regional development, and environmental protection initiatives.
It also demonstrates that our Faculty develops projects that not only advance science, but also inspire society to discover the world in new and innovative ways.
The project is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund under the INTERREG Poland–Saxony 2021–2027 Cooperation Programme.
