The paper presents abiotic resources which are located in a small town in central Poland. They remain unknown to authorities and inhabitants. For the first time they are illustrated in a scientific paper. The objects of local geological heritage point to geodiversity of this district town in the south-western Mazovia. When the geodiversity is interpreted in a simple, an understandable way, it may become attractive for tourists. We show how abiotic resources located within an urban area can be used to support urban geotourism development. The scientific, educational and aesthetic values of these resources may create the town image in accordance with the principles of environmental protection.

In the urbanized area of Pruszków there are objects of geological and geomorphological heritage, i.e. objects of inanimate nature. They include glacier-originated relief and deposits: Pliocene clays, till, Scandinavian boulders and water. Their considerable differentiation proves geodiversity of this city, lying in south-western Mazovia. Some of them have potential to become geotouristic attractions of this region. Unfortunately, the city authorities, and consequently the city residents are not aware of the value of these assets. The lack of dissemination of knowledge about the less known natural resources causes that they remain unused in the sustainable development of the municipality and the city, as well as in shaping the image of the city.

W artykule przedstawiono dziedzictwo geologiczne małego mazowieckiego miasta, które stanowi potencjał rozwoju geoturystyki miejskiej. Od zaangażowania lokalnych władz samorządowych w zagospodarowanie elementów przyrody nieożywionej do pełnienia funkcji turystycznych z zachowaniem zasad ochrony przyrody zależy możliwość czerpania korzyści ekonomicznych z rozwijającej się zrównoważonej geoturystyki.
