Lay­ers of histo­ry — In the geo­park we find geo­lo­gi­cal phe­no­me­na and pla­ces that are only found here or in a few pla­ces in the world, such as; the pene­pla­ne (the bed­rock sur­fa­ce) with its flat sur­fa­ce, the tab­le mountains which with their uni­que rock lay­ers rise from the plain lands­cape and ice age depo­sits that cre­a­te an incom­pa­rab­le lands­cape. This geo­lo­gy has also cre­a­ted con­di­tions for vari­ed flo­ra, spe­ci­es-rich fau­na, exci­ting cul­tural and indust­ri­al histo­ry and acti­ve out­do­or life. Pla­tå­ber­gens Geo­park is a col­la­bo­ra­tion between nine muni­ci­pa­li­ti­es; Grästorp, Väners­borg, Troll­hät­tan, Lid­kö­ping, Göte­ne, Ska­ra, Fal­kö­ping, Sköv­de and Mariestad.
