The Geothermal Learning Trail is intended for a wide range of visitors. It allows you to learn about shallow and deep geothermal energy in situ - in nature. Visitors also learn how to easily calculate the potential of this energy for use in heating and cooling buildings and how it can be captured. The trail is also designed for professionals, who can see the rocks that occur deep below the surface in Cerkno and learn about their thermal conductivity.

Some of the points on the geothermal trail are also important geothermal objects, such as the 134-metre-deep geothermal borehole Ce-1/94, the 96-metre-deep field of 12 geoprobes at the Centre for School and Extracurricular Activities, the 2,004-metre-deep geothermal borehole Ce-2/95 at the Hotel Cerkno, which is the deepest working geothermal borehole in western Slovenia.

The Geothermal Learning Path also demonstrates the potential of shallow geothermal energy by measuring the temperature of the ground.
