Visitor Centre of the Karawanken UNESCO Global Geopark on the Petzen

Geo.Dom - a borderline genius nature game!

Immerse yourself in the "NatureGame" in a lounge with a breathtaking view. As drops of water cross the Petzen. Let yourself be transformed into a unique plant by an artificial intelligence and become part of the virtual garden of the Geopark. Borderline ingenious, what you can experience and discover here. 

Special exhibition "the petrified forest of Lesbos – understanding climate change"

What is a Greek forest doing in Carinthia?

And is it possible to travel back in time on the Petzen? Sure! 20 million years in an instant. We see trunks, branches, roots, leaves and seeds – buried in volcanic ash at the time, preserved to this day. One of the largest petrified forests in the world. A Pompeii of plants: The petrified forest of Lesbos shows us how we can learn for our own future from the processes that have changed our planet over millions of years. The Lesvos UNESCO Global Geopark is visiting the new Geo.Dom on the Petzen with the special exhibition Understanding Climate Change. 

The Geopark Visitor Centre Geo.Dom was funded by the European Regional Development Fund within the framework of the cooperation programme Interreg V-A Slovenia-Austria. Contact:
