Cultural values (CV) of geodiversity have been already recognized in numerous approaches. Regarding the concept of geomorphosites, CV are usually assessed within the group of “added values” e.g. historical, archaeological aspects. In urban areas and on the sites that are strongly influenced by human activities, some methods may negatively influence the objectivity of results. Other possibility of assessing the CV is to use the concept of ecosystem services (ES). In 2018, the abiotic ES were added to the Common International Classification of ES and the cultural services were also included. These values refer to abiotic characteristics of nature that enable active or passive physical and experimental interactions that enable intellectual activities with symbolic or spiritual importance or may be considered a part of heritage. On examples from the Czech Rep., both approaches are applied on the assessment of CV of geomorphosites.
