Rupnica

The Rupnica formation exhibits columnar jointed volcanic rocks, displaying distinct hexagonal and square patterns formed through ancient volcanic processes.

Designated as Croatia's first geological monument in 1948, Rupnica preserves evidence of volcanic activity dating back more than 100 million years.

The Rupnica nature reserve functions as an educational center where students and researchers study geological processes and environmental conservation methods.

The reserve includes marked hiking trails, information panels, and the Geo Info Centre, which provides detailed explanations about local geological formations.

Rupnica contains rock formations that demonstrate clear evidence of magma crystallization, creating perfectly geometric columns in the exposed rock face.
