In honor of Earth Day in advance, on April 19, 2026, the Bükk National Park Directorate invites its visitors to the Ipolytarnóc Fossils with a special program, where the geological nature trail tour began in 1986, 50 years ago, with regular presentations of our earth's special memorial site. During the thematic program, in addition to the memory of our Earth, the recently deceased Professor László Kordos, an internationally renowned paleontologist in the paleontological research of the area, will also be commemorated at the paleontological center of the Novohrad–Nógrád UNESCO Global Geopark.
The event joins the international series of celebrations held in honor of Earth Day and the geoparks associated with it, which preserve the geological heritage of our planet by making it visible, as the gateway to the transnational Paloc Geopark, which is a member of the Global Geoparks Network (GGN), which is celebrating its 22nd anniversary.
On April 19, the thematic tour starting at 11:40 from the Ancient Pine Entrance Reception Building includes the themes of the geohistorical events and the geoparks interpreting their memory in connection with the former volcanic disaster, which conserved the Palaeohabitat of Ipolytarnóc. In addition to visiting the Geological Educational Trail, the program also commemorates the pioneering era of geological tours that began 50 years ago and László Kordos.
The number of participants in the thematic tour is limited to 35 people, and those who have registered in advance will have priority.
