In the cabinet part of the thesis we investigated educational paths and how to use forest pedagogy for interpreting them. In the past few years, the interpretation of educational paths is an increasingly popular method for upgrading existing learning paths. There is a plan to promote the existing path (Forest and geological nature trail Pekel) using effective interpretation, to present it to a wider audience with the aim of preserving and protecting the heritage, and ultimately also to market the trail. In the research part of the thesis we presented a wider area of the Forest and geological nature trail Pekel and the path as such. Furthermore we wanted to explore visitors' profiles and to get to know wishes, downsides and how the potential development would affect wider surroundings. Data showed that the route offers development possibilities even for preschool children. In the thesis we also prepared a trail interpretation plan for guides of preschool children. The aim was to educate preschool children about the importance of the forest ecosystem.
