An area of exceptional geological heritage

The Karavanke Geopark is a cross-border area of outstanding natural, geological and cultural heritage, connecting the Slovenian and Austrian sides of the Karavanke. Due to its distinctive geological diversity, it is included in the UNESCO Global Geoparks network, confirming its international significance. The area is characterised by a rich mining past, varied terrain, natural features, protected areas, and numerous stories intertwined with the lives of people beneath Peca and along the Karavanke.

A cycling experience amid nature and views.

Nature and experiences

On the Slovenian side, the Geopark is particularly defined by the Mežica Valley, Peca, the Topla Landscape Park, the Peca Underground and mining heritage, offering visitors unique experiences—from exploring geological features and natural assets to cycling through mine tunnels, hiking, educational trails and interpretive content. The Karavanke Geopark is therefore not only a place for nature conservation, but also an area for connection, learning and the sustainable development of tourism.
