Croatia Celebrates Third UNESCO Geopark at Biokovo-Imotski Lakes

Croatia has been honored with its third UNESCO Geopark designation for the Biokovo-Imotski Lakes, marking a significant recognition of the nation's geological and natural heritage

In a splendid display of natural heritage recognition, Croatia has polished its emerald credentials with the declaration of the “Biokovo – Imotski Lakes” as its third UNESCO Geopark, a gem of a decision made at the 219th assembly of the UNESCO Executive Board in Paris.

The Geopark, a tapestry of geological marvels and aqueous allure, was gracefully anointed during the 8th UNESCO Global Geoparks Council session in Marrakech, on the 4th and 5th of September, 2023. This esteemed recognition places the “Biokovo-Imotski Lakes” in the illustrious company of the “Papuk” and “Vis Archipelago” Geoparks, further burnishing Croatia’s geotourism lustre.
