Summary/Abstract: The article provides a review of the pedagogical and didactic significance of geographical field trips. During the trips, students are given a real possibility to have a look at geographical features, therefore, motivation of studies is increased and versatile professional competences are trained. Although geographical field trips were included in the education programmes of secondary school a long time ago, they are still not widely used. Thus, encouragement of students to travel later makes a positive influence on organisation of the training process at school. Today, we may maintain that our students have visited 2/3 European countries as well as Turkey. An additional opportunity to travel is also provided by Erasmus Programme. The present article introduces the programme and content of a particular field trip.
