What are geosites?

Geosites along the Ore Trail offer highlights that are described on information boards. The panels contain QR codes for digital access to additional information and images about geology, mining, history and legends. The Geopark presents unique geological phenomena and helps to raise awareness of their importance and conservation. Information boards in the area and online provide knowledge about the landscape, history and nature of the Ore of the Alps UNESCO Global Geopark.

In addition to the explanations for adults, the Geosites also have a "Kids" section. In this category, you can access child-friendly explanations on topics relating to geology and mining history, stories and legends and traditions and customs of the Pongau region. The stories and descriptions are presented for three age groups (6-10 years, 10-13 years and 14+ years).
