UNESCO Global Geopark - what is it?

Geoparks are landscapes that contain a special geological, cultural-historical, archaeological as well as ecological heritage. There are 3 seals of approval: National, European and Global Geopark of UNESCO. All three awards were given to the Swabian Alb. Currently there are 177 UNESCO Global Geoparks, eight of them in Germany.
