In the context of lectures and a workshop used the 40 present action and the decision makers Forum for lively exchange on cross-border potential of a geo-tourism development. The workshop was organized by Achim later by the ARGUS concept transferred from Saarbrücken.
as external experts were Reinhard Diehl, director of the Geo-Bergstrasse-Odenwald Nature Park, and Michael Hahl concept as Geotourism expert project-related staff of the ARGUS involved. The papers and the subsequent exchange of approaching the topic from different angles Geotourism and made different development possibilities clear. Key questions also arose from the consideration of whether a tourism economic development of Geoparks Geopotentials with or without certification would imagine, and how large a cross-border redevelopment is possible. - A focus then, as he is likely to make in all areas that deal with a specific theme tourist valorisation.
The presentation of the geographer Michael Hahl (Image: ARGUS concept) by the project office approached proreg to the topic with the key message that the provision of Geopotentials could contribute significantly to the experience value of the countryside, the tourist capital of the Highlands. It was then narrowed the term Geotourism by the themes focus Earth and environmental history and the interactions of flora, fauna and cultural landscape history was identified and linked to capture and communicate with the aspects of Geopotentials resource protection and regional economy. Geo-tourism media, target groups and the connection with similar outdoor concepts, such as walking and cycling were further focus of the talk and finally, the question "with or without a certificate" discussed and some examples within and outside a Geopark area scenery. structure To make the selection of geo-tourism offers a typing approach was taken by Andreas Megerle dividing the diversity of geological heritage in three types of Geopotentials viable and that each specific prospects for a suitable Landscape marketing associates. Hahl added this typing with regional examples, pointing out that when valuing a geo-tourism, not least, must go around an attractive and communicable model determination. For this sub-region of the Saar-Nahe Basin suggested the Impulvortrag particular the issues of "post-mining landscape" and "find the center of agates" in front, geo-tourism aspects, therefore, are in Freisen already picked out to date and developed markets such as the projected Achatweg Hellerberg.
was finally taken up the subject Geotorismus in mining areas and examples from other rural regions illuminated in such a theme renatured HeidelbergCement and reclaimed quarry Nußloch-Baiertal south of Heidelberg. That visitor activities such as "mining of minerals or fossils" for a geo-tourism development on the one hand, may be promising, on the other hand, reacted cautiously and must be applied appropriately to the ideas of sustainability and the claim of a sustainable resource protection needs to be, was given in the presentation and in the following discussion taken up again. Finally, pointing to Michael Hahl some concrete perspectives and possible issues for an inter-regional Geotourism Development in St. Wendel circuit and in the neighboring county Palatine Mountains could be adopted.
