Il Micromondo Parco Tematico sulla Geologia

The Microworld Theme Park on Geology is the first park dedicated to the theme of earth sciences built in Basilicata.

The Microworld was born from the idea of two Lucan geologists with the aim of guaranteeing to a user as wide and varied as possible, the approach and understanding of the world of karst phenomena , through a unique didactic container, structured in such a way as to make it accessible not only to experts in the subject, but also to school groups of all levels or to the simply curious and passionate.

The Microworld Theme Park on Geology is a fun and original way to learn scientific notions of geology thanks to the 3D miniatures representing the most important names concerning the genesis and evolution of the Earth (orogeny, volcanism, karst, earthquakes and whatever else characterizes the terrestrial landscape), many of which have movement, in order to achieve greater realism.

The structure is located on the shores of Lake Sirino (Municipality of Nemoli) on the slopes of the homonymous mountain and also offers parallel activities such as trekking which, upon reservation, can also include small experiments on the territory , or services such as geological consultancy.

The Microworld Theme Park on Geology Trekking was born from the idea of two Lucan geologists and aims to provide a fun way to approach the earth sciences. Our trekking activities take place within the Appenino Lucano National Park . They include multiple aspects: geology; flora and fauna.

The routes are very varied as they include a multitude of morphological and natural elements all enclosed in an area of a few kilometers: for example glacial lakes, karst lakes, lakes for landslides; rivers; sumptuous peaks; fossiliferous environments; gorges and also the sea, since we are located a few km from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The routes are also suitable for everyone: from school groups to families, but they are also very attractive for the simple curious and for people approaching hiking activities for the first time.
The excursions , on request, can also include experiments in the field and are carried out by graduated personnel, with great experience and accredited as hiking-environmental guide from the Basilicata Region.

The Microworld is the first geological theme park born in Basilicata .

The idea comes from two geologists from Basilicata who aim to find a way to give greater impetus to the dissemination of Earth Sciences and develop a more aware perception of landscape and the dynamics that generated it.

The Microworld is a unique structure of its kind, designed to ensure easy use by users variegata and designed to be a fun and original way to spread knowledge and culture. The itinerary is characterized by three-dimensional models , made entirely by artisan-Lucan artists, and representing the main geological processes that make up the genesis and evolution of the planet Earth: orogeny, volcanism, karst, earthquakes, glaciations and energy sources.

Most of these models have their own movement, in order to allow the visitor a realistic and dynamic perception of the processes represented.

The thematic areas are associated with " special effects" which, in addition to represent a useful way to provide the visitor with greater realism in the simulation of each geological process, they contribute to giving greater suggestion to the representation, to the point of transmitting the thrill induced by an earthquake or the charm expressed by a volcanic eruption. / p>

The path also contains a collection of minerals , fossils and rock samples .
