First International Geodiversity Day

International Geodiversity Day is a worldwide celebration, bringing people together on October 6, to promote the many aspects of geodiversity

It was proclaimed by UNESCO at the 41st General Conference in 2021, and this year is celebrated for the first time. Geodiversity is all around you. It is all the parts of nature that aren't alive; including everything from minerals and fossils, to soils and spectacular landscapes.

Although the Krka River and its landscape seem eternal, the birth of the river and the formation of karst, the creation of the plateau, the cutting of the canyons, and the construction of the travertine barriers lasted for eons, leaving traces today from which the geological past of the area can be read. The water solubility of carbonate rock is perhaps the most important condition for the karstification process. In essence, this is a chemical process that has taken place for millions of years, and is still ongoing. From the rocks surrounding the Krka River, we can read their geological timeline.
