Thanks to all. I chose this over educational trail because it seems to me that info would inherently be a part of any trail specifically termed "nature trail".

agree  Lenka Mandryszová: With the option of Education Trail too

neutral  Elizabeth Spacilova: Sorry, not too excited about this one. The idea of a nature trail is that it's educational about nature. Given Scott's post, nature trail is best ... as opposed to history or science trail. // IMO "Interpretive" is better than "educational nature trail"

agree  Maria Chmelarova: or education trail

neutral  Jennifer Hejtmankova: an educational trail can be, I think, anywhere, not just "in the nature" :) this would be my second choice.

disagree  Tomáš Barendregt (X): I think "nature trail" is not "naucna stezka" in that it may or may not have the educational/interpretive dimension (info boards etc.) while naucna stezka ALWAYS has it. In fact, I think most of them are just hiking trails in a natural setting.

interpretive trail


Explanation:
65.000 google hits. Probably US usage as only 120 hits come from co.uk sites. In my experience, this is what this type of trail is commonly called in the US.
