Programs

The Cultural Heritage Days (the Hungarian series of European Heritage Days) will be held between 20-21 September 2025, grouped around the theme of the “European Year of Architectural Heritage”. The architectural solution of our Ancient Pine Entrance Visitor Center, managed by the Bükk National Directorate, goes beyond mere functionality, as it incorporates the powerful symbol system of our geological heritage, creating a kind of window to the past, the understanding of which opens the door for present-day visitors to the future preservation of our earth’s memory. It is no wonder that the special information center of the Novohrad-Nógrád UNESCO Global Geopark was also hired for this year’s Venice Biennale UNESCO exhibition. Open days with free guided tours are held for those who have registered in advance.

To join to the events of the International Geodiversity Day (October 6) on our Geoptope Saturday, October 4 special programs celebrate the rich geodiversity of the transnational Novohrad-Nograd UNESCO Global Geopark. At its main gateway, the Ipolytarnoc Fossils Nature Reserve, managed by the Bükk National Park Directorate, a guided tour leads back to a vanished past.
