Abstract 

This paper describes the Kamianytsia quarry as an educational geological site for the practice of students of the Geography Department of Uzhhorod National University. The geological structure and minerals of the Kamianytsia quarry are characterized. The skills that students acquire when describing a given geological object are presented, as well as the technologies used during the field stage of geography students' practice. The following is a list of the main tasks that students perform during their internships. The typical stages of field work of the first-year students of the Department of Physical Geography and Environmental Management of the Faculty of Geography are outlined.
