Efficiency test is an assessment process to prove the direct effect of a given service with scientific results. In the field of pedagogy (similarly to other fields of science) an objective measurement system capable of answering the questions with numbers and facts is needed to determine its actual utility. The efficiency of nature trails and other eco-touristic locations of environmental education is primarily evaluated by the efficiency of interpretation, which means that it is usually the visitors’ ability to remember is examined. Measuring the effectiveness of Hungarian nature trails was attempted to carry out by testing the change of knowledge level with questionnaires. The surveys were conducted at three locations, the methods and the results of the research are demonstrated in this study based on the experiences of the survey of Gyadai nature trail.
