New Geotrails Discovering the Apuan Alps UNESCO Global Geopark, Italy

At the beginning of 2019, the Apuan Alps UGGp produced a new leaflet that is meant to promote 9 geotrails celebrating the geological and cultural heritage of the Geopark. These geotrails are footpaths with varying travel times (from one hour or less, up to a maximum of one day) and difficulty rating (easy, moderate and difficult). They are suitable for both families with children and experienced hikers and are equipped with explanatory panels. The geotrails' locations are shown in a simplified map that offers visitors a comprehensive geographical awareness by highlighting the main geosites, main access roads and railway stations and other tourist points of interest. The geotrails can be divided according to their main geological and geomorphological meaning. All the described footpaths offer the possibility to discover places full of geology, culture and evocative landscapes in the wild nature of the Apuan Alps.
