their discovering. Of course, without investment, development is stagnating. Sobrance spa,
already founded in the 14th century needs restoration and in the future there is possibility of
its renovation within investment project that can bring financial capital to the locality. Within
the Sobrance spa there was created nature trail in 2011 (Lesy SR, 2012). It is situated near to
the Sobrance town and the Vihorlat mountains and offers possibilities for the whole family to
know the nature and Sobrance surroundings. It is the real solution of geo-tourism.
Another point of geo-tourism should be near the town Sobrance in villages Podhoroď and
Beňatina. In the plan of rural development of Końice self-governing region, it is the locality
for creation geo-park for its geological structure (SRCR DZ, 2009). Both, nature trail and
geo-park should contribute to the economic growth by support domestic and foreign tourism.
Close to the Sobrance, in Tibava, Orechová and Choňkovce, more wine entrepreneurs exist
and they are focused on the production of standard varietal and attributive wine. Also tourists
that are looking for history and local culture and religion can discover wooden orthodox
churches in Ruská Bystrá, listed in UNESCO and Inovce village.
Surroundings of the Sobrance region offer walks and touristic possibilities to the nature
treasures in Vihorlat mountains: Morské Oko, Sninský kameņ and close Zemplínska Ńírava
especially suitable for tourism in summer. Interesting for tourists can be also the locality of
ponds near the village Senné, in the district of Michalovce.
According the example of Gussing in Austria, potentially created renewable energy plants and
centres should be used for the ecotourism as the touristic points and demonstration for the
interested ones in renewables.
CONCLUSION
Economic situation in the district of Sobrance is alarm and should be discussed and solved
between experts from fields like economy, sociology, entrepreneurship, research and
educational institutions. Starting point should be to analyse district´s sources and possibilities
that can contribute to its economic growth. In the paper we tried to analyse the region from
the view of the renewable energy sources use, name the fields of development and show the
example of the rural development in Austria.
We hope that suggested solutions can contribute to the development of the region and
especially of Sobrance district. Renewable energy sources could be the way of the
development but it requires better information and cooperation base. That could be solved by
suggested simulator Bio-informator. Another way is to use the natural and cultural resources
as the tourism incentives.
