Geološka baština Geoparka Papuk

ENGLESKI SAŽETAK: The most prominent feature of the eastern part of Croatia is the flat lowland area which was once the bottom of the so-called Pannonian Lake. The Slavonian Mts. today represent “islands” that rise on the horizon, almost a thousand meters above sea level. The most remarkable among these mountains is Papuk – hilly and forested wildlife area surrounded by rich lowland, Croatia's most important agricultural region. From the geological and biological point of view, Papuk is an extraordinary heterogeneous mountain. Together with a valuable cultural heritage, this put the base for proclamation of protected Nature Park in April 1999. Furthermore, in the year 2007 Papuk became the first area (336 km2) in Croatia to be awarded with a Geopark status and became a member of the European Geopark Network under protection of UNESCO. In the Slavonia area, the pre-Mesozoic crystalline basement of the Pannonian Basin, which represents the highlight of the field-trip, is traditionally subdivided into three igneous and metamorphic complexes: (1) the Psunj complex, assumed to have originated during the Late Precambrian to Early Palaeozoic time span, overprinted and retrogressed by younger metamorphic events ; (2) the Papuk complex, which underwent significant geological changes during the Ordovician to Early Devonian period, and (3) the Radlovac complex which presumably resulted from a very low-grade metamorphism during the Late Paleozoic. Permo-Triassic rocks are coarse- to medium- grained terrigeneous clastics, i.e. conglomerates and sandstones that unconformable overlie metamorphic complexes and grade into Lower Triassic sandstones. Composition of detrital components indicates magmatic and metamorphic rocks of the surrounding area as an adjacent source region. The clastic rocks crop out as elongated narrow zones, occurring between the crystalline complexes and the Middle Triassic, predominately carbonate rocks. Thermal overprint that took place during Eoalpine (Cretaceous) times affected predominately the clay minerals, thus leaving hardly noticeable marks and reassigning (in the strict sense of metamorphic classification) the Mesozoic sedimentary rock complex into very-low grade metasediments. Past volcanic activity in the vicinity of a small town of Voćin produced heterogeneous and quite large volcanic complex famous due to extraordinary, well-exposed columnar jointing. Recent sedimentation is represented with a tufa barrier at the Skakavac waterfall in the vicinity of the Jankovac mountain hut. Geological field-trip route encompasses igneous and metamorphic complexes and overlying (meta)sedimentary rocks on following localities: 1. Vranovo (phyllonite) ; 2. Trešnjevica (granitoids and volcanic rocks - basalt, andesite, rhyolite) ; 3. Rupnica (columnar jointing developed in volcanic rocks) ; 4. Jankovac (medium- to high-grade metamorphic rocks, conglomerate, sandstone, dolomite, tufa) ; 5. Kutjevo (Kutjevačka Rijeka transect, sedimentary rocks, low- to medium-grade metamorphic rocks, granite). The selected localities represent case-study localities and are the real “pearls” which show the true value and beauty of a diverse geological heritage of the Papuk Geopark. Geological field-trip in such area would not be complete without Kutjevo’s wines, cultivated in ancient wine-cellars, first built in 1232 by the clerical order of cistercits. The modern vineyards have been spread on the southern slopes of mountains Papuk and Krndija in a constant and devoted search for the perfect harmony between the climate, sun, soil and rocks. Kutjevo wine-cellars with skilled cellarers achieve the top-level quality of wines. Some of the famous wines from the Kutjevo area are: Graševina, Rheinriesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon, Traminac, together with de Gotho exclusive wine and ice wines.
