Geotourist evaluation of thirteen small geological, geomorphological and mining heritage objects was carried out in a small v alley of the Upper Łagowica River and in its surroundings (Holy Cross Mountains, Poland). The point grading method was used, which is functional in the case of evaluation of small geotourist objects. It was shown that the analysed objects are characterized by high and medi um geotourist attractiveness. When analysed together, they strengthen their own individual values. They are suited to mark out geotourist trails ( geotrail), and additionally become a source of information about spatial changes of geodiversity. They also determine the uniqueness of this type of small river valleys of the Holy Cross Mountains on a regional and supra-regional scale. The evaluation of these objects and the proposal of a geotourist trail in the Upper Łagowica River valley may contribute to the activation of local communities and government authorities in the promotion of geoeducation and geotourism, draw their attention to the need for preservation and protection of the geodiversity of small va lleys of the Holy Cross Mountains, and, what is especially important, may give information about the investment attractiveness of the area
