Due to its extremely geological diversity, Papuk has become the first geopark in Croatia and part of the UNESCO global network of geoparks. Since it is only 200 kilometers from Zagreb, it is possible to organize a day trip to Papuk. There are numerous opportunities for visitors, from hiking, cycling to thermal pools in Velika and Orahovačko lake.
