THE HIPOROUTES IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS FROM ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS

Václav Mráz, Jiří Ježek, Karel Zlatuška, Vlastimil Nevrkla

These days, equestrian tourism is more and more popular. It is also called hipotourism. During this, the tourist is mostly riding a horse. A suitable way is needed for horses and their riders, of course. The hiporoutes usually use forest and field roads with gravel or asphalt cover. These roads are the ideal surface during times of drought. There are problems during strong or long-lasting rains and snow melting. The muddy surface of the roads is hazardous for horses because they can slip. The asphalt cover is unsuitable, of course. Concerning the increasing interest in hiporoute construction, and due to the lack of traditional building material, the search for more economical, technologically better solutions and minimalizing the effects on the environment is required. One of the possible solutions for construction is using recycled materials and secondary raw materials from industrial production. There were chosen several sorts of materials and binders for authorization of possibilities in using of alternative materials for road stabilisation due to the training of carriage horses in the National stud farm Kladruby n. Labem. The longtime target is observing changes in surface properties due to traffic, climatic condition and suitable cover of routes for horse training.
