The map layers of Geosites briefly and clearly describe geologically interesting sites in the Czech Republic in several categories:

Map services of the server State Administration of Land Surveying and Cadastre are used as basemaps.
Web application is platform independent and it works in all modern browsers on any device (both desktop and mobile).
Starting with this version you can change the visibility of each map layer.
The availability and accuracy of locating your position depends on the features and settings of your device (GPS, access to Wi-Fi…).
Possible inaccuracies, incorrect information, any mistakes, wrong positions, broken links and any errors or suggestions concerning functionality can be reported at zajimavosti@geology.cz. Thank you.
Chronostratigrafic terms with the respective ages are defined in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart on the web page of the International Commission on Stratigraphy. Czech and English geological terminology is connected in the Dictionary of Geology.
The subsequent maintenance of the application and updates of the data are parts of the main aims of the internal project of the Czech Geological Survey called Important Geological Localities of the Czech Republic.
