Papuk Geopark, Geopark in Požega-Slavonia County, Croatia.
The Papuk Geopark covers 33,600 hectares of mountains reaching 953 meters, featuring metamorphic rocks, forests, and agricultural fields in eastern Croatia.
The area received its geopark designation in September 2007, marking it as the first Croatian member of the European and UNESCO Global Geoparks Network.
Medieval fortifications within the geopark, including the old town Ružica, demonstrate the historical significance of human settlement in this mountainous region.
The geopark maintains 104 kilometers of marked bicycle paths and numerous hiking trails that connect geological sites, caves, and educational stations.
Rupnica geological site contains distinctive square and hexagonal prismatic pillars formed through the columnar jointing of albite rhyolites.
