Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The geomorphosites of Roșia Montană. The volcanic relief of the Roșia Montană mining area is characterised by a significant number of geomorphosites, represented especially by necks and dykes, such as: Cârnic, Orlea, Jig-Văidoaia, Lety etc. Another category of geomorphosites is represented by those with hydrographic features, namely the ponds created for mining purposes since Roman period. We identified a number of 14 geomorphosites; 9 of these are the results of the Neogene volcanic activity, and 5 are the ponds which appeared as an indirect consequence of the volcanic specific of the area. The geomorphosites created by the volcanic activity have also a significant archaeological, historical and cultural value, due to the valuable mining galleries and another evidences of this ancient activity. Among all the geomorphosites of the area, the most important one is Cârnic Massif which has a complex system of underground mining galleries, some of them belonging to Roman period. We consider that capitalization through touristic activities of these landforms is the best utilization in terms of ecological, cultural and economic perspectives.
