Oltenia de sub Munte nu renunță la statutul de Geoparc UNESCO. 100 din 101 criterii sunt îndeplinite

Oltenia de sub Munte, a region in Vâlcea County, aims for UNESCO Global Geopark status but faced opposition from local authorities. Despite meeting 100 of 101 criteria, the project stalled due to Horezu's local council rejecting it. The region showcases a rich geological history and diverse cultural heritage, highlighted at a recent event in Bucharest. The initiative, led by the Kogayon Association, seeks to leverage local resources for sustainable tourism and community benefits. While UNESCO status is pending, the project has already fostered local partnerships and tourism visibility, with ongoing efforts to promote the region's unique attributes.
