Petrographic Garden in Moryń – a new geotouristic attraction in western Poland
Journal Title: Landform Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 29
Abstract
A new petrographic garden was established in 2012 in Moryń, north-western Poland. Thirty five erratics, derived from adjacent till moraines, witness local geological heritage and form a new geotouristic attraction. Together with other geovalues of this region, the petrographic garden is a cornerstone of the Polish-German geopark “Glacial Land over the Odra River” (Ger. Geopark Eiszeitland am Oderrand).
