From the depths of the former Pannonian Sea, they rise to almost a thousand meters above sea level. Papuk peaks. This geologically most diverse area of Croatia is the first geopark in Croatia. Its layers reveal a history that has completely changed the face of the space – from the Pannonian Sea to the splendor of centuries-old beech trees. The changed face in its depths nevertheless tells all the lived experiences of the space, willingly sharing them with the curious.
