Learn about the world-renowned alpine plants and the formation of the Geopark
About this spot
A hub facility at the base of Mount Apoi, the symbol of Samani Town, located in an area certified as a World Geopark. Mount Apoi is known for its unusual alpine plants that thrive at low elevations due to the influence of unique rocks (olivine), despite its elevation of only around 800 meters. The center offers easy-to-understand exhibits about the mountain's formation and precious plants. The cool interior is perfect for spending a hot midsummer morning, making it an ideal spot to begin your journey into the profound nature of Samani.
