Interconnection between cultural and geological heritage at four Croatian historic mining sites

Historic mining sites represent a mining heritage that can be classified as a subset of industrial heritage, as well as historical heritage. Thus, they are a part of cultural heritage. On the other hand, they are interconnected with geodiversity. Although mining activities have negative impacts on geodiversity, they also bring to light inaccessible earth materials, geological forms and traces of geological processes. Consequently, historic mining sites are valuable places for geotourism and should be protected not only as cultural heritage but also as geological heritage. This presentation considers four existing/potential mine heritage sites in Croatia (Radoboj, Rude, Sovinjak and Trgovska gora), which are valuable both as cultural and geological heritage and discusses the exigency for their appropriate geoconservation.
