Landscape archetypes represent the historical and current state of the landscape structure, reflecting the socio-economic influences of man in the context of the natural conditions in the territory. The basic feature of archetypes is the dynamics of the formation of the landscape elements spatial arrangement based on the limits of the natural components’ properties – georelief, geological structure or hydrological regime of the territory. Archetypes have potential for the development of sustainable forms of tourism – natural and rural tourism (so-called green tourism). Such are also the archetypes in the Nitra self-governing region – 6 rural municipalities representing 3 types of archetypes – the villages of Čajkov and Rybník, Brhlovce and Bory (all Levice district), Vlčany and Neded (Šaľa district). Green tourism mainly focuses learning about local communities, natural and cultural-historical attractions. Its basis is a low number of tourists with an individual program, the locations belong to economically less developed regions with support of traditional local products. Archetypes combine the possibilities of optimal land use and direct improvement of nature protection, biodiversity and landscape through programs and products supporting and increasing environmental awareness.
