TOUR NAME
To be approved as a European Geopark under the auspices of UNESCO, a site must be able to prove that it has a geology “of European interest”. Magma Geopark area obtained the membership because is characterized by very important geology: by very important geology: unique rock formations that characterized the landscape as a: “moon landscape”. The Magma Geopark rocks are the same type you can find on the moon surface: it will be like walking on the moon! Geologists have visited this area for over 100 years, producing over 350 major and minor scientific geological studies and a rich historical literature about the special moon rocks. Several of the Magma Geopark localities show geological phenomena that people cannot see anywhere else in Europe. Mining has been one of the main resources for the region since 250 years ago, especially iron. It is easy to show the connection between the variations in the geological basis and important parts of our society. By looking at the geology we can learn about the region’s population, the agriculture, industry processes, culture development and biodiversity. Tourists from abroad come to Norway mainly to appreciate the beautiful and untouched nature. At the same time new studies underline that tourists want to get the stories behind the landscape: the scenery alone is perceived as boring. MG and its exciting stories are waiting to be discovered!
