The National Park Đerdap (eastern Serbia, vicinity of the Danube River) occupies a segment of the Carpathian-Balkan fold-and-thrust belt and has a significant geoheritage potential, accounting for the impressive natural (geological) and cultural legacy. In addition to the extraordinary orogenic-type landscape or nappe-stacked mountainous configura tion, the region contains evidence of ancient mining activities, uncovered within its immediate neighbourhood. The ancient mining activities date back a few thousand years ago and represent a solid ground for the idea of establishing a theme park, including the accompanying mining museum. Historic sites of this type are very attractive, whereas the global practice indicates that the abandoned ore derelict mines could not be easily transformed into a facility with new economically viable content. These have often been left to reveal their dumps, junk piles and ruined leftovers of the formerly used mining tools and equipment.
A recent global trend tends to preserve the ancient mining sites, with the attempt to establish a mining museum or theme park. The foundation of the theme park has the goal to make an attractive tourist offering for this part of Serbia. Importantly, old mines are in a social–historical sense the archaeological localities documenting the pioneering min ing and archaeometallurgy attempts. Ancient mining sites offer a rich legacy of mining and metallurgical tradition, representing objects or geosites needing conservation and preservation at the social level to outline the sustainable development of a region. This goal is in line with the guidelines and the criteria for developing theme parks, proposed by UNESCO. Thus, here we emphasize the importance of natural and cultural heritage, which represents a significant input of the mining legacy further supporting the idea of establishing a theme park within the National Park Đerdap. - том
