Naturtejo Geopark is the oldest among the UNESCO Global Geoparks in Portugal, which was admitted to the then Global Geopark Network in 2006. It is located in the eastern part of the country, on both sides of the Tagus River, close to the border with Spain. The highlights of regional geoheritage include spectacular granite landforms (inselbergs, tors, pedestal rocks), excellent exposures of Ordovician ichnofossils, deeply incised river reaches that expose deformed Lower Paleozoic basement rocks and remnants of past mining activities. The area has also rich cultural heritage which goes back to Roman times. Sixteen designated geosites and numerous walking trails are the main attractions for tourists, but the Geopark is also engaged in developing various innovative tourist and educational products focused on both geo- and cultural heritage, as well as linkages between the two.

Two UNESCO Global Geoparks were established in Hungary. This paper presents the Bakony - Balaton Geopark, located in the western part of the country, predominantly within the Transdanubian Range. It includes uplands and low-elevation mountains of North Bakony, South Bakony, Balaton Uplands and Keszthely Mountains, with basins situated in between, as well as Lake Balaton itself. Geologically, the dominant part of the territory is underlain by Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, mainly limestones and dolomites. Other significant rock formations are Eocene limestones, Mio-Pliocene sediments of the Pannonian Sea and end-Neogene basalts. Karst phenomena, residual volcanic hills, fossil sinter cones and river gorges are the most characteristic geomorphological features of the Geopark. Forty-five geosites have been recognized in the Geopark, although access facilities and interpretative content the Geopark is also rich in cultural heritage and its southern part counts as the major tourist

Arouca Geopark is located in northern Portugal, approximately 50 km to the southeast from the city of Porto. It was established in 2006 and covers 330 km2 of the municipality of Arouca. Geologically it includes Early Palaeozoic weakly metamorphosed slates and quartzites, intruded by several granite massifs of Carboniferous age. Geological highlights of the area are findings ofgiant Ordovician trilobites, now on display in a special museum and rare textural varieties of granites. Arouca Geopark offers interesting geomorphology too, such as high-elevated planation surfaces in granites, tors and boulder fields, waterfalls and river gorges. Mining heritage is also present, focused on tungsten. Earth heritage is made accessible primarily through a network of 41 designated geosites and further promoted by a range of educational activities addressed to schools of all levels and initiatives aimed at engagement of local communities.

The idea of establishing the Post-Glacial Land of the Drawa and Dêbnica Geopark emerged on the initiative of the members of Polish Geological Institute – Pomeranian Branch of the National Research Institute and local authorities. At the beginning of the year 2011, commissioned by the Minister of the Environment by the funds of the NFEP&WM, launched works intending to establishment of the Geopark of the Post-Glacial Land of Drawa and Dębnica. The major intention of the concept was researching and demonstrating the 50 geosites covering the Post-Glacial Land and their integration into a consistent network, establishing fundaments of the geopark. The geopark consists of the lands between Połczyn-Zdrój, Barwice and Czaplinek and is positioned in the eastern part of the Zachodniopomorskie voivodenship. The geopark is located inside the early post-glacial landscape, with dominant form of undulant moraine uplands with: terminal moraines, dead ice moraines, kemes, tunel valleys, ice-marginal valleys, kettle holes and sandurs. The geotouristic potential of the region focuses on the early postglacial landscape, and its biggest beauty the shape of the terrain.
