CÍRAL, Gabriela Sarah
The physical insufficiency is increasing, especially among the young people. Physical activites are necessary for a healthy lifestyle and from many physical activities geocaching is our option. At the beginning, let us briefly introduce you to what geocaching is, what you can expect from it, what you need for it as we explain the main rules and terms of this game. We´ve created series of cache called the Heart Series in order to increase a tourism in the area of Suchdol nad Lužnicí, which had been chosen for its uniqueness and beauty. Based on the questionnaire, which we have enclosed in the cache listing, we've created the main profile of geocachers, who visited our caches. Also a basic guide was created for the Departement of Health Education, with instructions how to get involved in this physical activity. Based on the questionnaire, disclosed in the cache listing, with 12 final questions using the quota selection, we have created the main profile of geocachers, who visited our caches. We had 84 volunteers from the attendants of the "Heart series". We also compare the number of tourists in the area, within the years 2013 and 2014. This work contributes to a healthy life style with use of hiking and cycle touring.
