摘要：

Industrial regions of the Upper Silesia Coal Basin (Poland) and the Ruhr Basin (Germany) are inseparably connected with mining activity, which results in deposits of a huge volume of waste on dumping grounds. The dumping grounds have become a part of the cultural landscape and they can be considered as geotouristic attractions. The negative influence of dumping grounds on the natural environment, however, requires taking effective preventative measures. It is equally significant to carry out effective reclamation and economically-justified development of these dumping grounds for geotouristic sites. These actions, strictly connected with the application of interdisciplinary scientific research, must be reflected in appropriate legal regulations.
