Educational trails represent a specific form of environmental interpretation of the landscape. These are thematically designed routes in a natural or cultural environment, which are an important tool of environmental education, especially in protected areas. The aim of the work was a practical design of the educational trail Selec – Inovec. The design consists of the proposal of the route, the content design and the placement of information boards as well as the design of additional recreational mobiliary. The proposed educational trail is situated in the area of interest of the Považský Inovec mountain range. It is linear with a total length of 5.607 km; on the route a total of 13 stops are proposed, which contain 11 information boards thematically focused on the area of natural attractions, history and forestry activity, 3 rest areas, as well as other necessary recreational mobiliary. The educational trail should serve as an element of forest pedagogy for the forestry entity managing the given area when working with the public.
