Geologia e turismo. Itinerari geologici in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Geotourism features are quite remarkable in the whole Italy, a country considered among the most interesting for its geological features and among the richest in geodiversity. Up to now, unfortunately, it has not been arranged geotourism in a systematic way either at a local or at a regional level. And the notable tourist flux visiting the country over the whole year has rarely been offered the chance of geological excursions. Such geological trails have a triple aim: to promote the knowledge of Earth Sciences, so little widespread among media or public opinion; to offer new professional perspectives to young un- or undemployed geologists; to shift a part of the high tourist attendance concentrated on the coasts to the internal areas, generally at a low development rate. Vengono presentate diverse proposte di itinerari geologici in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (durata da 2 a 8 ore) attraverso il progetto ''Geoadventures'': dalla costa alto-adriatica (Lignano, Bibione) ai sistemi carsici prealpini, dalla Linea delle Risorgive alle Alpi e alla Val Vajont, fino al megabanco di frana marina fossile e al geoitinerario di Pramollo. Particolare attenzione viene dedicata alle dune costiere di Lignano Sabbiadoro e ai meccanismi sedimentari del Tagliamento.
