Geodiversity and Geotop Days at the Nograd Geopark
To join to the events of the International Geodiversity Day (October 6) on our Geoptope Saturdays (October 5 and 12) special programs celebrate the rich geodiversity of the transnational Novohrad-Nograd UNESCO Global Geopark. At its main gateway, the Ipolytarnoc Fossils Nature Reserve, managed by the Bükk National Park Directorate, a guided tour leads back to a vanished past.
The event endorses the International Geodiversity Day initiative by a giuded tour to the boundless geoheritage of a geopark without borders. The visitors can dive into the past from the Pannonian lake through a volcanic disaster to the Paratethys shallow sea full of with giant sharks at the Geosite of the Ipolytarnoc Fossils.
October 6 (Geodiversity Day) is the Day of the 13 Martyrs of Arad in Hungary, that is why 1 day earlier, which is the traditional Geotope Day in Hungary, on October 5, at 10:45 AM, at the Ancient Pine Visitor Center a guided tour starts leading through exhibitions, Miocene rock parks, reconstructed statues of extinct animals, sheltered excavations of a geologic type section and one can touch the wall of the animated past.
