Geopark Karawanken-Karavanke is a geological park straddling the border of Austria and Slovenia. It includes parts of the Austrian Province of Carinthia and the Slovenian Region of Koroška in the southeastern zone of the Karawanken mountain range. Since 2013, it has been part of the European and international Geopark network under the auspices of UNESCO. It encompasses 14 communities – 9 in Austria; 5 in Slovenia – and a total area of 1,067 km².
This app elaborates on attractions and amenities of interest to guests in Geopark Karawanken. A well-structured menu layout enables users to conveniently access information about all the facilities and infrastructure available in the Geopark’s communities. Plus, it is all geo-referenced, so, for example, you can get insights into geological features and then quickly locate excellent examples of them in the Geopark as well as information about the best viewing spots.
You can explore Geotrails, and hikers who wish can get GPS support along the way, including well-timed alerts about sights worth checking out delivered just as the hikers are approaching them.
To make it easier for guests to independently plan their trip and stay, there is a wide array of information about accommodations, dining, recreational activities and lots more.
In order to provide for optimal use of the app even in areas where internet access can be a problem, there is the possibility of downloading selected maps at various zoom levels. These maps can then be used offline too.
