“…The first one will include the territory of five municipalities and trace the route of the Gustav Line, a German defensive system built at the end of 1943 (Garzarella et al, 2019). The second one will follow the story of the mining activities in the northern sector of the Maiella UGGp (Lipparini et al, 2016). The use of new technologies in touristic offices (i.e.…”

“…Even if just 3 sites belonging to the hydrocarbon genesis and migration type and the mining and industrial archaeology type have been recorded up until now in the MNP GD, they represent a peculiarity of the aspiring Geopark. Thanks to the recent increasing interest for the former Majella Mining Bitumen Complex [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] from both researchers and institutions, their number is expected to rise. The MNP GD format also furnishes the value of each geosite (Figure 8b) in geoturistic, educational and scientific terms.…”

“…It is connected to the Alto Aventino Geopalaeontologic Museum (Figure 10), sited inside the Ducal Castle of the nearby village of Palena, one of the MNP municipalities. Other important international geosites are the aforementioned archeogeosite of the Giumentina Valley [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], the so-called "Petroleoum Springs" of Tocco da Casauria [47,48,[50][51][52][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61], the groundwater-fed springs of Verde [50,69,70] and the Nera Cave with abundant moonmilk concretions [71,72]. The most prominent example of these "multi-valued" geosites is surely the fossil field of Capo di Fiume [62][63][64][65][66][67][68] (Figure 9), which is visitable since 2001 thanks to some facilities (wood fence, educational panels, picnic area).…”

The Majella National Park: An Aspiring UNESCO Geopark

et al. 2018

Majella National Park is located in the central Apennines (Italy), in a vast mountainous area of about 740 km 2. Owing to the complex geological history of the Majella Massif and surrounding areas, it features many different landforms. Woodlands rich in water characterize the wide tectonic depression of Caramanico, which separates the rounded gentle profile of the Majella to the east from the impervious steep slope of the Morrone Mt. to the west. Bare pitted highlands, like lunar landforms, characterize the top of the Majella (i.e., Femmina Morta Valley) shaped by flowing ice that long ago covered the higher parts of the massif. Sedimentary structures and fossil content recovered in carbonates attest to a long period of sedimentation in warm, shallow-marine environments, revealing that the Majella and the surrounding carbonate mountains looked, approximately from 140 to 7 Ma, like the present-day Bahamas and Persian Gulf. The Park hosts at least 95 geosites, some of which (22) are well-known in the international literature because of their scientific relevance. In addition, its natural and cultural wealth, deeply fused together with geoheritage, preserves several features of national and world rarity. Therefore, the Park Authority decided to put forward its territory as a candidate to become part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Global Geoparks Network.
