     Title: Geopark Week at the Miocene Park
The European Geoparks Week, taking place at late May early June each year, is a European – wide festival of Geoparks. The Bükk National Park Directorate endorses this event.

Ipolytarnoc, as the main gateway to the Novohrad-Nograd Geopark joined to the celebration between May 26 and June 6 in 2015. The opening of the celebration started at 14h on May 26 at the information hall of the Visitor Centre. 

At the Miocene Park each day special events entartained the public, and  on June 5 a miniature volcano erupted several times. For the safety of this major volcanic activity professor Szabolcs Harangi (ELTE) gave lectures to the visitors, most of them students.
