  3. Sports events in relation to geology or in some geological place.
  4. Workshops and activities on geology, archaeological heritage, or historical mining.

Most geosites of the geopark are accessible from natural park public use trails, free access paths or roads. Only seven geosites are on private land, so they are restricted access and for visit it is necessary to request authorization to the protected area.

There are interpretation panels at the entrance of the visitor centers and information points, at the entrance of Natural Monuments, at the beginning of the signposted trails and in other geosites and tourist places.
