By comparing individual views, we find an overlap of interests among respondents, but not a majority opinion, which shows us the importance of local stakeholders. The following part of the thesis proposes the creation of a new sustainable tourism product, namely the reconstruction of the former narrow-gauge railway, which was built on the Spálenec - Arnoštov - Knížecí stolec route for the needs of calamity logging at the beginning of the last century. This product not only refers to the history of the site, specifically to the significant event that shaped it, but also presents a technical monument to tourism users. It also offers a unique experience that does not unduly burden the local landscape.
