Geopoetic Tour « Giele Botter »
The former open-pit mining areas are now part of the core zones of the Minett Biosphere Reserve, which focuses on the coexistence of humans and nature. During a guided hike in the vibrant colors of spring, we will explore how humans have shaped the landscape and geological substrate. Explanations from a geoscience expert, along with readings from the travel journal Rocklines and texts by Nico Helminger and Henry David Thoreau, will enrich this exploration of the Giele Botter.
